When you put Aaron P., Joseph Perticone of The Bulwark and Jayme Leagh Franklin of The Conservateur on a panel alongside our reputation management and media expert Jaclyn Rothenberg, an insightful conversation is bound to unfold. Together, they explored how media, influence and credibility are evolving in a creator-driven world. Here are just a few standout perspectives from the discussion: 👉 Relationships Drive Results. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Every creator connects differently, and you have to know them to know what works. 👉 Credibility Comes from Listening. Influence starts with understanding what your audience cares about, and being honest when you get it wrong. 👉 Connection Builds Trust. Podcasts, short videos and real conversations – creators are redefining how we get and trust information. A big thank-you to our panelists for sharing their perspectives! To learn more about our Influencer Engagement offering, please reach out to influencers@teamavoq.com or connect with Jane Hill and Jaclyn Rothenberg.

What happens when today’s most influential voices meet tomorrow’s biggest ideas?

Featuring our own Jaclyn Rothenberg, Aaron P., Joseph Perticone of The Bulwark and Jayme Leagh Franklin of The Conservateur, the discussion explored how credibility, trust and influence are being redefined in today’s fragmented media landscape. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. The ideas exchanged reminded us just how dynamic the future of media and engagement truly is.

Leaders today operate in the reputation arena, where business, policy and culture collide and every decision is under public scrutiny. This week in Austin, we were proud to sponsor a session at a Mixing Board, powered by Axios event and have our own Andrea Hagelgans join a powerhouse panel alongside Jennifer Haslip (Gilead) and Eric Porterfield (Roblox), moderated by Kerry Flynn (Axios). The discussion explored how leaders can prepare for reputational risks beyond their control and turn potential crises into opportunities to build trust and loyalty.

Most people read earnings reports for business insights. Smart policy strategists read them to decode policy signals.    Corporate earnings show how government actions ripple through the economy from trade and tax policy to regulation and spending. They don’t just show what’s happening now. They forecast what’s next.   Avoq’s Government Relations team is driven to think this way on behalf of clients. See our insights on how to turn earnings reports into a real-time window on policy trends: https://lnkd.in/ePbhnwgi
