                “Share  your  cookies  and  toys”  was  my  mother’s  strongest  admonition
                when  I  was  growing  up.  Her  words  ring  as  true  for  me  today  in  the
                boardroom as they did on the playground. Whatever success I’ve achieved

                in business is the direct result of sharing my cookies and toys with the five
                cofounders/co-owners—who  have  all  worked  together  since  1990—and
                with  the  amazing  employees  of  our  New  York–based  public  relations
                agency.


                   Together, we have built an agency that is known for creating great work,

                a  great  workplace,  and  great  communities  that  work  (i.e.,  healthy,
                sustainable communities). Our efforts have resulted in Patrice Tanaka &
                Company,  Inc.  being  recognized  as  the  “#1  Most  Creative”  and  the  “#2

                Best Workplace” among all PR agencies in the nation (Inside PR, 1998) as
                well  as  the  “#1  Most  Esteemed  PR  Agency”  in  New  York  (Thomas  L.
                Harris/Impulse Research, 2000).
