Thompson & Co. Public Relations is moving south. The Anchorage, AK-based agency has now expanded its nationwide presence with the addition of a third location in Houston, TX.
Located at Two Allen Center in downtown Houston, the agency’s newest location represents new regional frontiers for Thompson & Co.’s business opportunities, but will also serve current agency clients posting operations and partnerships near the Gulf Coast region.
The Houston office opens next week. It will be run by agency vice president Liz Baker, who comes from Thompson & Co.’s Anchorage headquarters.
Thompson & Co. maintains a third office in New York City, which for nearly 10 years has handled national media relations for the agency’s clients. The largest independent PR agency in Alaska, Thompson & Co. specializes in tourism, energy, education and healthcare.
