The Visit California account will be led from NJF’s Los Angeles and New York offices.
New York-based NJF, formally known as Nancy J. Friedman Public Relations Inc., is ranked number-five for travel PR by O’Dwyer’s, accounting for nearly $9.3 million in travel-related net fees last year. Kansas City-based MMGY acquired NJF in 2016.
