SHIFT’s Todd Defren, One of PRWeek’s 40 Under 40
Congratulations to SHIFT’s fearless under-40 leader, Mr. Todd Defren, for bringing yet another award home for the agency. Todd, at a very young 39 years of age, is one of PRWeek’s 40 Under 40 (subscription required), recognized for his passionate, forward-thinking ideas about PR, social media and marketing, and his ongoing success as principal at SHIFT Communications.
From working with Todd at SHIFT, I can attest that this award is definitely well-deserved. Readers of his blog, PR Squared, and every person in the Boston and San Francisco offices can tell you that Todd puts his values and beliefs first, and his enthusiasm for public relations and bringing the industry to the next level is evident in all that he does. Todd’s built a killer army of smart, driven, fearless PR pros, and everyone here is proud to work with him. SHIFTers, clients and industry peers should all consider themselves lucky to know this cool cat. And all this before 40!
Congrats, TD!
