Industry Insight

Franchise PR Focused

We are deeply embedded in the franchise and public relations industries. By staying engaged in the conversations shaping franchising today, we bring valuable perspective, strategic insight, and thought leadership to our clients and the broader franchise community.

Northern Illinois
Franchise Association

In the spirit of uniting franchise professionals in Illinois, Lauren and Jamie Izaks co-founded with Andrew Bleiman the Northern Illinois Franchise Association (NIFA) in 2013 to help franchisors, franchisees and suppliers grow personally and professionally. NIFA hosts four quarterly events covering a wide variety of timely topics related to franchising, government relations, the economy and more. Through an ongoing partnership with the International Franchise Association, NIFA provides opportunities to learn and develop skills, contacts and relationships.

International Franchise Association

The agency is an active member of the International Franchise Association (IFA). Our president, Jamie Izaks, serves on the IFA Supplier Board and Marketing Committee. Through involvement, we regularly attend several IFA conferences each year and its annual convention, participating on many levels, including speaking in front of convention attendees, as well hosting roundtables and other breakout sessions. Plus, the agency is a major sponsor of IFA events, creating a highly visible presence throughout the year. Likewise, we are regular editorial contributors to IFA print and online publications, as well as an advertiser.
