Washington – PRWeek named Jeff Mascott, Managing Director of D.C.-based public relations firm Adfero Group, to its second annual “40 Under 40” list of outstanding PR professionals. Mascott provides ongoing leadership and strategic vision for Adfero, and oversees many of the firm’s most important clients, including major trade associations and Fortune 200 corporations.
Over a three year period from 2004-2007, Jeff led the firm to expand its services and client offerings, resulting in a 119 percent growth in revenue.
