The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the powerful, PR-savvy business lobbying group, has made a key digital communications hire and is reviewing proposals from PR agencies ahead of its 100th anniversary in 2012.
Nick Schaper, who directed digital media for House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), is leaving the Hill post for the slot of executive director, digital strategic communications, for the Chamber. He was previously director of Congressional Affairs for Adfero Group in D.C., which has worked with the Chamber, and started out on the Hill as an aide to Rep. Ric Keller (R-Fla.).
The Chamber also confirmed that it is considering proposals from a February RFP to PR agencies.
Former Google communications executive Tita Freeman is VP of communications and strategy for the Chamber.
