Richard Strauss, Founder and President, Strauss Radio Strategies, 38
"Marking its 11th year in 2007, Richard Strauss' DC-based firm has become one of the top PR firms focused on radio. Though observers initially scoffed at its radio-only business model, Strauss has maintained its focus and boasts a number of long-term clients such as Nike (nine years) and General Motors (five years).
"Strauss began his involvement in political campaigns and radio PR early. While still attending UCLA, he joined Bill Clinton's presidential campaign, eventually working for the administration as the White House's first-ever radio director.
"Aggressive in seeking out new clients, he holds weekly meetings with his team of 12 where he instructs them to present new-business opportunities based on current events, professional networking, or cold-calling. A specialty of the firm is multicultural outreach, something which is aided by a staff that is one-third bilingual."
