Affect’s SVP Jen Dobrzelecki: ‘Keep going’
Here’s how this NYC-based PR exec views the future of the industry, the short-term effects of COVID-19 and the tools that help the most during WFH.
What are the biggest changes you have faced since the COVID-19 crisis began?
For many PR pros, a big change has been the sharp reduction of travel that was once a regular part of their working life. Jen Dobrzelecki, senior vice president at Affect, has done the opposite of the many who fled big cities for quiet, suburban domiciles to ride out the pandemic. She’s stayed in New York City, but that’s a change for someone accustomed to a life on the road.
We recently caught up with her for our “Day in the Life” series. Here’s what she had to say:
1. How much coffee do you drink during a day?
Dobrzelecki: None. Zero. Zilch. Not only do I not drink coffee, I’ve never even tried it. Not even a sip. While I often wonder if I’m missing out on this morning ritual that’s important to so many, I am happy I am not burdened with needing it to “start my day.”
I just get up, gulp down a glass of water and go.
