Grand PR

Grand PR is starting fresh in it’s second year of business with a new management team.

Holly Higginson has taken over as Firm President. Holly is a Senior, graduating in December 2009 pursuing a BS in Communications with a Public Relations and Advertising emphasis and a Management Minor. Holly is the Public Relations Assistant at the Grand Rapids Art Museum and hopes to continue her career there after graduation.

Kristen Wood has been appointed as Firm Director. Kristen is beginning her Senior year at Grand Valley. She plans on graduating this spring with a BS in Communications with a Public Relations emphasis and a General Business Minor. She spent this past summer as a Marketing Communications Intern at American Seating.

As a team, Holly and Kristen are excited to recruit more student members, promote Grand PR  and continue to find new oppertunities and clients to collaborate with.

Grand PR was featured in a recent Business Review article. It’s the start of great things!

…. School’s out forever for now. The summer weather may be here, but Grand PR’s account executives are still hard at work. Despite the miles between the group, full-time jobs/internships, and the sand between our toes, the firm will be maintaining the three clients we landed during the school year with new clients on the horizon.

Doug Clements, Firm Director will be in Lansing doing an internship at the capital. Quixtar is lucky to have two Grand PR members as interns this summer - Account Executive Tamara Lavati will be fulfilling an event planning internship and Firm President Charlotte Sasinowski will be continuing a PR internship. Account Executive Mackenzie Patton will be fulfilling an internship with GVSU’s athletic department and Josie Goldberg will be interning at GVSU’s Health and Wellness office after studying abroad. Amy Sawade recently accepted the Public Relations Specialist position at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.

We’re masters at multi-tasking!
