Anthony Harrison (COM’81)

Anthony Harrison is passionate about the power of words. He loves a well-turned phrase and the impact of a powerful story. That is what brought him to public relations over 20 years ago. A graduate of Boston University’s College of Communications, Anthony’s career is built on telling powerful and compelling stories about everything from telephones (Verizon) to lattes (Starbucks) to Mickey Mouse (Disney), from the paper of record (The NY Times) and the world’s best-known software, (Microsoft) and the largest social network on the planet (Facebook/Meta). He prides himself on finding and telling stories that engage people and change their opinions. Stories that build or renew a reputation.

Anthony does not take himself too seriously. He thrives on making those around him better than they were when he met them, and in turn, he lets them make him better. He works hard and laughs harder. He has ridden his bike from San Francisco to Los Angeles and handled balloons in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, and when you meet him, you will never forget him.
