Linhart PR new client alert + Win of the Month!

We're thrilled to announce our new partnership with Colorado State University Global (CSU Global)!

CSU Global offers career-relevant bachelor’s and master’s degree programs for working adults and post-traditional learners. As the first 100% online, fully accredited public university in the U.S., CSU Global is focused on student success as its number one priority.

One of our first outreach initiatives for CSU Global was to share more about their Master of Science in Teaching and Learning (MSTL) and Principal Licensure (PL) programs and how these degrees are helping to advance Colorado educator training and keep educators in Colorado schools: more than 90% of CSU Global MSTL and PL grads are still teaching in our state!

You can learn all about it by watching the KCNC-TV CBS Denver Channel 4 segment we secured with CSU Global grad and North Middle School (Aurora Public Schools) Assistant Principal Cara LaMark and CSU Global Provost and Acting Chief Academic Officer Dr. Audra Spicer.

Yesterday, our team had the chance to get outside and tour the Denver Zoo! Huge shout out to Jake Kubie, director of integrated communications at the Denver Zoo and former Linhart PR team member for giving us the full experience.

Longtime Linhart PR client Graebel Companies, Inc. produces an annual State of Mobility Report, which surveys a different key audience each year. In 2023, Graebel connected with mobile employees about how their moves have impacted their companies and their careers. For this report, we partnered with Graebel to plan, develop and publicize a reimagined State of Mobility Report that included an interactive microsite that brought the survey results to life through fictional employee relocation journeys. This engaging new report format – which Linhart PR proposed and collaborated with the Graebel team to create – helped demonstrate and advocate for the value of talent mobility to company leaders.

Congratulations to our marvelous Account Executive, Sari Winston on her 3rd anniversary with Linhart PR! Sari's incredible knack for media relations, digital marketing and design has contributed to the success of our client teams time and time again!

We're so thankful for your dedication to the Linhart PR team and culture, Sari! Cheers to you!
