Each week we’ll feature a Q&A with one member of our dynamic team. CB&A is an agency that values its employees, and we hope you enjoy learning a bit more about the people behind the PR.
Emily is a Senior Account Executive at CB&A.
Emily and Barley
Dogs or cats? Woof. My dog Barley, a soft coated wheaten terrier, is the love of my life – aside from my husband of course.
Morning or night person? Morning but only if a good cup of coffee is available.
Best PR advice you can fit inside of a tweet? Act like a duck…stay calm, cool and collected on the surface even if you’re paddling like crazy under water.
Favorite subject in elementary school? Art class. My mom still has a box full of my art projects.
If days lasted 25 hours, what would you do with the extra hour? Practice Bikram yoga. If yoga were a pill, believe me, everyone would take it.
Current Pandora station? Of Monsters & Men based on a recommendation from a friend.
If you weren’t in PR, what would you be doing? Running an organic vegetable farm with goats. I love goat cheese.
What was the first thing you learned to cook? I really can’t remember, which probably explains why I don’t cook today. Baking is my specialty.
Favorite condiment? Ranch, it’s the new ketchup. And good ranch is hard to find.
Favorite sport and team? Football. I grew up in Green Bay and used to work for the Packers. But I certainly cheer for the Badgers as well.
Dinner with your favorite literary character or author, who would you choose? Gone with the Wind was an early favorite – longest book I could find in my middle school library – so I would love to dine with Scarlett O’Hara.
UW-Madison: great college or greatest college? Greatest college is an understatement. If you can’t tell, I’m an alum. Bucky Badger was even a guest at my wedding!
