DENVER – April 1, 2026 – As Linhart Public Relations marks its 30th anniversary year, the firm is also recognizing the 20th anniversary of Managing Partner Paul Raab, APR.  

Raab joined Linhart PR as a senior vice president in 2006 and became managing partner in 2016, succeeding Linhart PR’s founder, Sharon Linhart. During his time at Linhart PR, Raab has guided the firm through sustained business success, supported award winning client work and contributed to a collaborative, high performing culture.

At a time of consolidation and corporatization of public relations firms, Raab is passionate about Linhart PR as an independent, partner-owned PR firm that thrives by fostering an entrepreneurial spirit among the team. He spearheads new business initiatives and advises clients across industries on reputation, issues and crisis management and stakeholder engagement, bringing a steady, practical approach grounded in experience, judgment and a focus on driving business impact. His key client relationships include Black Hills Energy, Carbon Storage Solutions, CoreSite, Graebel Companies, IRES MLS and Oakwood Homes, among others.

Before joining Linhart PR, Raab served as communications director at global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney in Chicago, where he led efforts to build the firm’s worldwide reputation for thought leadership. He also held client and business leadership roles at Golin. Raab brings a unique blend of corporate and agency experience that informs the way he shepherds the firm and counsels clients.

“Over the past two decades, Paul has played an integral role in shaping who we are as a firm today,” said Kelly Janhunen, vice president and partner at Linhart PR. “He is tenacious when it comes to new business and profitable growth; our clients rely on him for strategy, creativity and advice; and he is committed to sharing his experience to mentor and develop our team. Paul’s leadership has helped position Linhart PR for future success for many years to come.”

Raab is a past president of PRSA Chicago and a recipient of PRSA Colorado’s ‘Swede Johnson’ Lifetime Achievement Award. His client work has been recognized with PRSA Silver Anvils, Bronze Anvils and PRSA Colorado Gold Pick awards. Raab’s community involvement includes past board service with Naturally Boulder, Medicine Horse Program and the Colorado Mountain Club. He has been a guest speaker at colleges, universities and Public Relations Student Society of America chapters in Colorado and Illinois, and at regional and global meetings of Worldcom Public Relations Group, the world’s largest partnership of independent PR firms.

Raab is a graduate of Ohio University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism. He is Accredited in Public Relations (APR), a credential presented by the Universal Accreditation Board that validates high-level expertise, strategic thinking and ethical practice in public relations. Raab resides in Boulder with his wife, Sue.
