From The Newest Maxwell-ite: Kim VanSyoc

Before starting at my new job at a much smaller PR firm, I frequently reminded myself that people often say good things come in small packages. Jewelry - check. Chocolate - check. An envelope with plane ticket to somewhere sunny in the middle of winter - check. A new job - TBD.

Now that I've been a member of the Maxwell team for one week, I've learned that good things don't come in small packages - really great things do. While Maxwell may be a smaller PR firm in terms of the team size, clients and square-footage, their ideas are bigger than anyplace I've ever been! In fact, the ideas are so big that I'm a little ashamed I ever questioned the contents of this small package. And, to be honest, I have a feeling I'm not alone.

So, to those potential clients who have overlooked boutique agencies because they are unsure of their ideas and capabilities or potential employees that are simply wooed by big names and big buildings, here's some food for thought: the Mini Cooper didn't become a world-renowned phenomenon because it was big.

I totally love this article, Kim. Thanks! And think of all those baby items that never fail to elicit an "awww": baby shoes, baby clothes, mini shopping carts for kids, etc.
