Special Guests Publicity Agency Offers to Hire Laid off Workers
Special Guests CEO Gerald McGlothlin available to interview via Skype, Zoom or Phone
HICKORY, NC (June 3, 2020)– The world’s largest PR firm, Edelman, announced it is laying off 390 members of its team due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
PRovokeMedia.com quoted Edelman CEO Richard Edelman breaking his earlier pledge promising not to lay off workers due to COVID-19, saying, “We have stood against the wind as long as we could. The layoffs will affect individuals of all levels and across markets.”
But with millions of people at home tuning in to TV Talk Shows and News Shows, there is one company specializing in booking guests on Talk Shows via Zoom and Skype that is taking advantage of the rich pool of available new workers and offering them jobs.
Special Guests, founded in 1985 by Jerry McGlothlin, does 90% of its publicity business booking guests on radio and television News/Talk Shows so it is experiencing a hiring boom.
Ironically, McGlothlin’s firm based in Hickory, North Carolina, was rejected for PPP money since he mainly uses commissioned gig contractors instead of salaried employees, but even without government reimbursement, this consummate entrepreneur is hiring and offering two categories of gig contractor jobs on straight commission: New Client Acquisitions Reps and Talk Show Bookers.
Said McGlothlin, “One man’s floor is another man’s ceiling, and if Edelman is laying off productive, experienced PR pros, Special Guests is interested in providing them with an income in their new agency home. Our generous straight commission offer gives publicity professionals exiting Edelman the opportunity to earn more commission money from Special Guests than from than their former paycheck.”
McGlothlin says that to the best of his knowledge, his agency, Special Guests, books more guests on Talk Shows than any other PR agency, since his firm specializes in providing guests to shows.
Special Guests has a higher Alexa.com U.S. Internet Traffic Ranking than all but three of the top 135 PR firms listed on the main PR ranking site Odwyers PR at:
