Taking a company just five years to become the fastest growing public relations agency in the U.S. might seem almost undoable, but for CEO and President of 5W Public Relations, Ronn Torossian, it was simple because of one thing: The right attitude.
The drive and attitude was there from the beginning. Brooklyn born Torossian, 33, has built 5W into a major domestic PR powerhouse, and is well on its way to become a significant international player as well. The company supplies advice and counsel on both routine public relation issues as well as on extremely sensitive and even crisis-related matters, to an eclectic mix of high profile individuals and companies. The diversity of his clients past and current include corporate giants-; entertainment personalities; technology and communication companies, health and wellness firms, not-for-profit organizations and public figures. Torossian says "Its quite exciting to be the 21st largest firm in the U.S. in such a relatively short period of time, and to reach the client base we have, working on so many issues currently in the news as well as making the news with some others.
But Torossians hard work and constant energy sparks every person he encounters from employees to potential clients and especially to existing clients who know that 5W will do the job right. Our creativity, drive and enthusiasm allow us continued success." he says. Where other agencies devote hours to fine-tuning business plans and writing up memos, Torossian jokes that he operates on a three-day business plan-and its working for him. The New York Times described him as the consummate hard-driving scrappy [New York] publicist, while PR Week included him on its 40 Under 40 list in 2007.
But while the success pours in from his growing roster of dream clients, Ronn Torossian isnt one to sit back and reflect on his accomplishments. Im interested in tomorrow and doing the work we have today, but I cannot rest on what happened yesterday, he says. This is the attitude every CEO should have.
