Sanitas International is providing strategic counsel, PA, media communications and third-party outreach services to promote the Kingdom of Bahrain, which is the home of the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
That representation is through Joe Trippi and Assocs., the Democratic political consulting firm that has worked for Howard Dean’s presidential bid and Jerry Brown’s successful race for the California Governor post.
In his engagement letter to Trippi, Sanitas co-founder Christopher Harvin, wrote of looking forward to bolstering “awareness for the Kingdom of Bahrain with a wide range of audiences and stakeholder in the U.S.”
His firm’s retainer and other fee arrangements are to be billed as determined by the scope of work being negotiated.
Harvin, a former deputy managing director in Levick Strategic Communications’ international practice, served as an advance man during both terms of George W. Bush’s administration.
That duty included an eight-month stint with the Coalition Provision Authority in Baghdad, Harvin helped manage the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance press desk.
He also saw service in former Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld ‘s PA shop, handling outreach to media, Congress and Coalition members.
Bahrain also uses Qorvis Communications for PR duties.
