FH @ 30
On April 12, FrazierHeiby marked its 30th anniversary! (Cue balloon drop) Doug Frazier celebrated the day with a special blog post featuring highlights from the firm’s history.
Welcome, Hannah!
We’re pleased to welcome a new addition to FrazierHeiby — Hannah Ellson — who joined the firm as an account executive in March. A native of Australia, Hannah brings a passion for public relations and experience working with well-known brands, including Kellogg and Foot Locker. She recently worked with DEC Communications in Sydney.
Client Activities
Cabela’s Ohio Debut
FrazierHeiby managed media relations for the grand opening of the first Ohio Cabela’s store in March. Television coverage from NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX28 captured the thousands of people waiting in line to be among the first to enter the store. Media coverage was also secured in The Columbus Dispatch, Columbus Business First, Delaware Gazette and This Week. View some of the clips here.
OOGA’s Severance Tax Campaign
As part of an ongoing effort to educate the public and the media about the administration’s proposed severance-tax increase on oil and gas production within the state, FrazierHeiby has assisted the Ohio Oil and Gas Association (OOGA) with the strategic placement of letters to the editor and op-eds in key newspapers. In February, The Wall Street Journal published a letter signed by OOGA president Joel Rudicil.
Keeping it “Real” in Hilliard
FrazierHeiby capitalized on the City of Hilliard’s strengths to deliver a new tagline and visual identity – “Real People. Real Possibilities.” – that was unveiled to the community during the State of the City address in March. The new tagline will help solidify the identity of Hilliard as a community that is viewed as down-to-earth, authentic and real. The firm is also supporting the city’s public-information programming, which includes proactively and consistently promoting city programs, services and events to current Hilliard residents and businesses via communications outreach and public-relations support.
