Global Situation Room Adds to Growing Team
Alexandria, Va., December 6, 2024 – Global Situation Room®, Inc. (GSR), an elite public relations firm, announced the hire of Wendy Atobatele as the company’s newest Account Manager. She joins at a time of rapid expansion for the agency. GSR has continued to win more business away from larger competitors with its focus on a more sophisticated suite of services to protect and promote clients’ reputations in these increasingly challenging times.
“I am extremely excited to welcome Wendy to our team,” said GSR Founder and President Brett Bruen. “As a new administration takes shape and ushers in new obstacles and opportunities, her work at Twitter and strong understanding of Washington will further strengthen GSR’s ability to deliver world-class service for our clients.”
Atobatele joins GSR from the public affairs agency SKDK. She brings extensive experience working with corporate, nonprofit, and advocacy organizations, developing innovative communications strategies and tactics that drive impact and results. Before joining SKDK, Wendy honed her expertise at Twitter (now X), where she played a key role in managing state and local public policy initiatives.
It has been another exceptional year for GSR as the firm gears up to celebrate its milestone 10th anniversary in 2025. The firm reports it has sustained again this year extraordinary growth, accompanied by the expansion of its leadership team, and for the first time being named as a PR News Agency Elite Top 100. Its position in trade publications PR Week and O’Dwyers’ rankings continues to rise, with its per employee revenue growth last year better than all but one other agency in the world.
“I am thrilled to join GSR during this exciting period of growth and look forward to contributing to our clients success alongside such an outstanding team,” said Atobatele. “This is an incredible opportunity to be part of a firm that prioritizes innovation and excellence in every facet of its work.
