Robert Kenny, acting Federal Communication Commission press secretary, will take a job at Mercury Public Affairs next week in Washington, D.C.
His job is to provide media relations duties surrounding issues in the healthcare, high-tech and telecommunications categories.
The FCC today named Tammy Sun, founder and CEO of PR agency Let it Shine, as communications director head of the office of nedia relations, starting April 29. Neil Grace was tapped as press secretary to Chairman Julius Genachowski, effective May 2.
Sun was deputy communications director for the William J. Clinton Foundation, press secretary for the Democratic Leadership Council and spokesperson for Sen. Joe Lieberman’s 2006 re-election campaign.
Grace was recently director of Burson-Marsteller's issues and crisis practice, starting with the firm in 2004. He started in PR with the National Restaurant Association.
Kenny moved into the shoes as chief spokesman for FCC chair Julius Genachowski after Jen Howard departed in December. He had been handling the FCC’s public safety and homeland security bureau.
