Group of We. employees celebrating Microsoft's 50th | We. Communications

GeekWire, Kurt Schlosser, March 21, 2025

What a night! At the Microsoft@50th event with GeekWire, We. Communications President of Corporate Affairs Kisja Burgess and Microsoft Communications Strategy Vice President Steve Clayton celebrated 50 years of Microsoft—and our many decades of partnership with this remarkable and world-changing company. It was a terrific evening of reunions, reminisces and reflections—including remarks from our Global CEO, Melissa Waggener Zorkin, who shared memories of taking Bill Gates on his first press tour. Cheers to you, Microsoft!

"My personal journey with Microsoft began many decades ago, when I was starting the PR agency, We. Communications. Back then, our job was to present a vision that seemed quite outrageous at the time: a computer on every desk and in every home. Personal computing was still a new and somewhat mysterious concept—much like the AI revolution is today..."

To celebrate, we're raising our glasses to this truly world-changing company. For fifty years, Microsoft's visionaries have redefined the boundaries of what's possible and working alongside them has been one of our agency's greatest honors.
