Our Network Partners, Part Two

Over the past eight months, we’ve continued to refine our value proposition and the ways we build our business. Our Network Partners program has proven to be particularly helpful to these efforts with many of our partners providing assistance to us and to our clients on a variety of client and business development projects.

As we said in February when we first described this concept, our Network Partners provide us with “a network of like-minded communications professionals we can recommend to clients and who can refer clients to us.”

In that spirit, we’re thrilled (and a little bit flattered too) to announce our newest Network Partner, Hawthorne Strategy Group. In keeping with our approach, we only include leading-edge communications professionals we know and have worked with before among our Network Partners. Hawthorne Strategy Group President Cynthia McCafferty and RENEWPR President Ben Finzel were FleishmanHillard colleagues for a number of years. We’re so pleased that we’ll get to work with Cynthia again – not to mention with her excellent colleagues.

Here’s a brief description of what Hawthorne does:

Hawthorne Strategy Group specializes in strategic communications, issues management, public affairs, and media relations. Check them out at www.hawthornestrategy.com.

Hawthorne’s location in Chicago gives us access to another major U.S. market and means that we’ll be partnering with a terrific team of public and media affairs experts who also focus on community relations and crisis communications. We’re very fortunate to have this connection to Hawthorne and we welcome this exciting new partnership.

We may add other new Network Partners in the months ahead. If we do, we’ll share the news here and on our social media channels (as we’ve already done today – check it out on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook). And be sure to follow and like us on our social media channels as well.
