Matt Kucharski, president of Padilla, will serve a three-year term as a Board Director of the PR Council. The Council is the only association dedicated to supporting agencies with a core competency in earned media.

Matt joins several new members from agencies of all sizes, geographies, and specialties. Together, the Board is tasked with helping its members—the leaders of 150 of U.S. and Canada’s premier global, mid-size, regional, and specialty firms—work smarter to build more valuable agencies. Programming is focused on the most critical issues affecting PR agency leaders’ ability to attract and retain talent and grow client relationships and their firms.

“This brilliant and collaborative group is already demonstrating their commitment to giving our Member firms a competitive advantage and elevating the entire industry,” said Kim Sample, PR Council president. “This year will present significant opportunities to demonstrate the power of our discipline, and our Board will provide excellent guidance to help grow our firms, talent and client relationships.”
