Boutique travel PR firm Turner announced that it is opening a new office in Miami.
The Fahlgren Mortine unit’s Magic City outpost is slated to open early this summer. The agency said it plans to launch the office with a core team who will also service global accounts and work with counterparts across the agency’s New York, Chicago and Denver network of offices.
Turner, which already boasts several Miami-based clients, is currently in the process of searching for an office space; the agency told O’Dwyer’s that convenient access, as well as a space that allows the office to grow, is part of its consideration.
The Miami outpost will be led by newly-hired vice president, Naureen Kazi, who will head strategic planning at the Miami location while working on integrated campaigns for global clients as well as expanding the company’s bilingual service capabilities.

Kazi came to Turner from economic development and travel PR agency Development Counsellors International, which she joined in 2010 and served as vice president, and handled tourism accounts for clients such as Finger Lakes Wine Country, PROMPERU (Peru Tourism), Dubai Tourism and Visit California. She was previously a consultant to Zocalo Group in Chicago and a senior account executive at FleishmanHillard Tokyo.
New York-based Turner, which represents resorts, destinations and lifestyle brands, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
