In the first full year of Batliner’s leadership, Carmichael Lynch Relate’s revenue grew more than 47 percent and head count increased more than 50 percent with less than 3 percent turnover rate.

Batliner will report to Carmichael Lynch CEO, Marcus Fisher, who previously was president.

"As the marketing landscape continues to evolve, we continue to bring public relations and advertising together to provide holistic business solutions for our clients.  We believe our blended offering is part of what makes us unique.  It allows us to be idea and solution based, not discipline based.  We are getting great feedback from our clients who are benefitting,” Batliner told O’Dwyer’s.

Batliner has expanded the agency’s content lab and social media department.

Clients include Subaru, U.S. Bank, Arla, Jack Link’s Protein Snacks, Phillips 66 and Truvía.
