Your People PR firm makes first hires

Your People is taking on some of its own in Southfield these days. The public relations firm has recently made a couple of hires after adding clients to its growing roster.

Today the 3-year-old company has a staff of six, including independent contractors and the occasional summer intern. It plans to have six full-timers by late next year; however, Lynne Schreiber, Your People's founder, plans to keep her company more on the boutique side.

"We want to maintain the relationship focus," Schreiber says. "I want to have a hand in every project."

Your People has added seven new clients this fall, ranging from Global Consulting to Lynn Medow's Yoga By Design to M.L. Liebler's Working Words. She started the company the three years ago after working as a journalist for 15 years in Washington, D.C., New York, and most recently as a freelancer for The Detroit News.
