"This has been an unprecedented year for our firm, in terms of tremendous growth, the depth of talent, and MWW's return to our independent roots," said Kempner. "We couldn't have done it without our amazing clients who inspire us to be better and work harder every year. Looking forward, we have exciting new announcements on the horizon that will enhance our delivery of effective communications and continue to build trust and relevance among all influencers in every industry."
