CHEN PR Has Exited Stage Left!

After more than a quarter century of our outstandingly talented crew providing top-notch service to our cadre of clients, it’s time to move on. Winding down our agency wasn’t an easy decision. It followed considerable thought, debate, discussion and, ultimately, planning. Lots of planning. We love what we do. We loved working with each other. […]

The Road to New Beginnings

My first day at CHEN PR was unlike any first day at a typical office. Growing up, one envisions “the first day” of work consisting of waking up early, getting dressed, commuting to work, walking into the office, sitting in a cubicle, and being greeted by many co-workers as they walk past your desk. I […]

Positive Tales, Pandemic Adventures: Next Stop, The Barking Crab!

By now, you’ve heard the same things a million times. Emails with the line “unprecedented times,” opinions about the “new normal,” and predictions that our pets will have social anxiety when we start to leave the house again.

Giving Back to the City We Love

As the COVID-19 pandemic has persisted since last year, so have volunteer efforts to help those in need and assist in local communities.

My Journey to CHEN: Surrounding Ventures with Comfort

Yes, I only started at CHEN this week. And yes, “love” is a strong word to use for a company I just met. But my fellow employees have given me several reasons to genuinely love my new job. From homemade banana bread on my first day, to constant support and willingness to answer questions throughout […]

How College Prepared Me For “The Real World”

When applying for my first job out of college a few short months ago, I took the time to figure out exactly what it was I wanted to do. I always had an idea, however, I thought it would be important to evaluate what I’ve learned over the past four years through my major, internships, […]

The Podcast Era: Stop, Collaborate and Listen

What caused the podcast era to erupt? Could it have been our instinctual desire to share stories with one another, or a craving to feel more connected in an increasingly cyber-centric world? Does hearing a discussion between people make us feel closer and more involved in a topic than just simply reading about one? We’re […]

It’s Off To Work We Go

Most would agree when I say that commuting to work seldom breaks into my “Top 5 Highlights of the Day” list. But with the weather warming up as we approach the summer months, I brought it upon myself to take a closer look at the paths that lead me to the office and to nearby […]
