Catching up with…Fahlgren Mortine

Fahlgren Mortine

It’s been entirely too long since we’ve made the rounds and checked in on shops around the state, so let’s remedy that. Starting with Fahlgren Mortine in Boise.

In July of 2016, David Jenson joined Fahlgren Mortine in their Boise office as managing director and senior vice president. He was previously a co-founder of Allan & Jenson, a marketing research and strategy consulting firm with offices in Boise and Los Angeles. Jenson is a familiar face around Boise, serving as Oliver Russell’s managing director from 2007 to 2012.

At the same time, Shea Andersen was also promoted to a vice president role in the Boise office. In the two years since joining the company, Anderson has been influential in the growth of the business through new and existing client relationships, as well as development and mentorship of the Boise team.

From here we fast forward to October, when senior account executive Sophie Sestero was named BYP Young Professional of the Year.

Then, in December, Sestero was also named one of the Idaho Business Review’s 2017 Women of the Year. She, along with 49 other finalists, will be recognized at a reception, dinner and awards gala at the Boise Centre in March, where one of the 50 will be honored as the Idaho Business Review Woman of the Year.

We’ll catch up with others as time allows.

New year. New name.

As 2017 kicks off in earnest, we’ve already seen at least one change on the marketing and communications front here in Idaho. On January 1st, the Gallatin Public Affairs office in Idaho was acquired by Portman Square Group.

Portman Square Group is led by Emily Baker, who was previously Managing Partner of Gallatin’s Boise office.
