Lambert forms a strategic partnership with Van Dyke Horn Public Relations, the largest minority public relations agency in Michigan. The firms have previously shared clients and campaigns in the non-profit and corporate sectors. Joining VDH’s current owner, president and CFO Marilyn Horn, Lambert will invest a less-than-majority stake in the agency, which will to be run by VDH’s current leadership. The joint go-to-market plan and growth strategy for collaborative projects between the two firms will be co-led by Lambert CEO Michelle Olson and chairman Jeff Lambert along with Horn and VDH chief executive officer Georgella Muirhead. “We’ve been minoring in DEI consulting and multi-cultural marketing, but this is an opportunity to major in it and to help the Van Dyke Horn team scale their services nationally and into fast growing sectors like private equity, public companies and ESG mandates,” said Olson.
