Linhart Public Relations Selected by PR News as National Finalist for PR Firm of the Year
DENVER, Colo. July 29, 2010 – Linhart Public Relations, a national public relations and corporate communications counseling firm based in Colorado, today announced it has been selected as a finalist for Small Firm of the Year by industry publication PR News. The winners will be announced on October 5 at the PR News Platinum PR Awards luncheon in New York City.
“We are honored to be recognized by our peers as one of the leading firms in the country,” said Sharon Linhart, APR, managing partner and founder of Linhart PR. “Being a finalist affirms the work and results that our talented professionals achieve for our clients.”
For the second consecutive year, Linhart PR is competing for PR News’ Small Firm of the Year, along with eight other U.S. firms with annual income below $10 million.
Finalists were selected based on demonstrated client growth, retention, agency culture, creative campaigns, and financial success in the past year. Linhart PR is the only agency based in the Rocky Mountain region selected as a Firm of the Year finalist in any category – large, mid-size or small.
Despite the economic downturn in the past year, Linhart PR achieved profitable financial performance, hired seven professionals, gained 10 new clients and maintained long-term relationships with clients such as Chipotle, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Johns Manville. In addition, Linhart PR increased its results on two important measures – client satisfaction and employee engagement.
