By Josh Swarz | Communications, Company Culture, Marketing, Media + Influencers, Strategy + Positioning | 0 comment | 2 June, 2021 | 0

In today’s politically charged environment, it isn’t uncommon for companies to want to stay out of politics. “We need to remain neutral,” is a common refrain – especially from smaller companies.  And why not?
