Haft Group Advisory Board - Contacts, Expertise, Experience

The  prominent Water Club, NYC
Lou Wolfin (left), his wife Joani (Vancouver BC), Paul Brauner (London), and Herb Haft at a client-social party in 1982. Guests numbered 250 formal attire all, a February winter festivity we called the "Russell-Haft Snow Ball," covered by the NY press. Handsome carriages and a sampling of limos brought the guests to the prestigious New York City Water Club. Steve Russell is an industrialist a friend of mine.

I don’t pretend to be all things to all people. I think it is a mistake for a public relations firm to do that. When you hire me, you get my advisory board as an extension to my firm. These gentlemen are experts in their respective fields with many decades of experience, sound judgment, focus, and knowledge.

For a period of over 35 years, I have represented quite a variety of companies, and over that period built up strong relationships with attorneys, investment bankers, brokers, high net worth individuals, et cetera.

Many in my advisory board are former clients. I thought putting together an advisory group made sense because it really is what I do, the substance of the people that you are doing business with is reflected in who you represent.

My business and my contacts are very much the same. It's a feeder business; my contacts are a feeder business to the investment banking community. I have a very good colleague I have represented, both as a friend and as a client over the years from Vancouver through I would say three or four public companies. During that period of time, which is twenty five, thirty years, we have become friends. We have been active in investor relations programs, both in New York, in Vancouver, and in other cities.

I guess what I cherish most about that is these are not only former and current clients of mine, but these are friends of mine. These are longstanding relationships. One of these gentlemen in my advisory board I met in 1982 at a broker party, a social party that I created in New York for two hundred and fifty people. I was delighted to have him with his family join me in this wonderful event. We have been friends and colleagues ever since.

I run a very hands-on practice, so naturally that breeds an intimate relationship.

I learned a long time, and over 40 years, I've always adhered to that concept of being very hands-on to each client. You cannot translate relationships down the line, in other words, it's not a sale that's big, it's a personalized service business. You cannot translate my abilities to five other account executives. It's a very personalized business, and that's for what you hire me. It's the one-on-one ability.

I think you are counted by what you do and who you know. It is that network of combination of high net worth individuals, good corporate people, solid brokerage background that translates into success for each client that you represent.
