“You don't really understand somebody unless you understand the context of their key relationships. The most important influencing factors are really communicated across trusting relationships and getting advice from the people they really count on and rely on that they see us as authentically speaking to them versus all the people trying to formally influence them. Man, that's magic.” - U.S. Ambassador to the OECD and former Congressman @Sean Patrick Maloney Episode 1 of “Decision Makers,” Applecart’s new podcast, is out now!

It was great to see so many clients and partners at last month’s PRWeek Healthcare Awards + Conference. Our Co-CEO Matthew Kalmans joined Novartis Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Michelle Weese, Maven Clinic’s Julie Binder, and PRWeek Editor in Chief Steve Barrett for an important discussion about the dangers of misinformation in healthcare.

Stopped by Basis Technologies in Chicago last week to share about Applecart's cutting-edge targeting solutions and how advertisers can leverage first-party data to enhance how they reach high-value audiences. Appreciated the opportunity to join Jaimie Hefelfinger, Sr. Client Lead at Basis Technologies; Al Shermer, CSO at Pathways; and Erik White, VP of Performance Digital at Cumulus for the "Collecting and Monetizing Data Panel." Thank you to the Basis team for putting together the event - it is always great to connect and share insights with leaders in the future of digital advertising! #DigitalMarketing #Data

“The best lobbyists know that [your friends and family] are the people who if they say “Hey, you gotta do something on this” or “I don't like what you did on that” – it's hard to go home and explain a vote that your spouse is pissed off about it. I’ve done it. It’s not fun!” Episode One of Applecart’s new podcast “Decision Makers” – featuring U.S. Ambassador to the OECD Sean Patrick Maloney – is here! Hear from the U.S. Ambassador to the OECD on his journey from a volunteer on Bill Clinton’s ‘92 campaign to Congressman, member of House Leadership, and now Ambassador.
