3. The event
• For the past five years, Publicis Health has participated in
the American Heart Association Wall Street Run & Heart
Walk (WSRHW). For the past two years, CEO Nick Colucci
has served as the event’s chairman
• Even with a long history with the event, this year was
particularly meaningful:
• We tripled our fundraising goal, setting our sights on a
record-breaking sum of $300k
• At the same time, feedback about last year’s efforts feeling
too top-down and money-driven meant that we would
need to hit our goal through deeper engagement and
activity at the agency level
• We also broadened the scope of our fundraising efforts to
include our vendor partners, as well as to engage our
colleagues outside of the NYC offices for a truly network-
wide effort
