Since our inception, we have been focused on blogger relations and blogger outreach.  Social media is our bread and butter, not just something we tacked on.  Over the last several years, we have prospected over 40,000 bloggers across a wide-variety of topics (see below) and over a growing number of languages, including Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and Russian-speaking blogs wordwide.

Ever since the dot-COM bubble burst almost ten years ago, Maryland has been bragging about how biotech would not only become the next big thing in innovation and business but would put Maryland on the map. Well, while it has mostly been hyperbole, Rockville, Maryland, based Emergent BioSolutions has been the bright-burning exception under the leadership of Chairman and CEO, Mr. Fuad El-Hibri.

We at Abraham Harrison LLC love to share what we do, both to educate the industry and to let our future clients know what we're about and what we do.  We feel it is essential to share our expertise, our processes, and our insight out and about.  Please enjoy the recorded webinar videos and associated slideshow deck.
