TURNER signs on to handle media relations efforts for the Empire State Building. In conjunction with the building’s 90th anniversary in 2021, TURNER will work to expand brand awareness across a variety of channels and platforms. A $165 million redevelopment of the Empire State Building Observatory was completed in December 2019, which included 10,000 square feet of museum galleries. In addition, the Empire State Building’s deep energy retrofit has decreased its carbon emissions by 40 percent and has been replicated in more than 50 U.S. buildings. “There are icons—and then there’s the Empire State Building, which towers above them all,” said TURNER Vice President Adél Grobler. “As an agency with a longtime presence in NYC, we are thrilled to represent the World’s Most Famous Building.”
