Columbia PR Firm Adds Legislative Associate; New Service

COLUMBIA, SC – McKay Public Affairs, LLC (MPA) is pleased to announce the addition of the team’s newest Legislative Associate, Kasey O’Haren. O’Haren, from Atlanta, Georgia, will spend her time monitoring and reporting on proceedings in the South Carolina State House. She will provide key research that will give MPA and its clients the tools needed to advocate for key issues. O’Haren will also be involved in lobbying, project procurement and specialized client support.

O’Haren combines her ability to examine issues from a professional communicator’s perspective with her interest in the legislative process. She joins Ashley Hunter, Senior Vice President; Cayci Banks, Vice President of Communications; and Brooke Rowan, Creative Associate.

MPA Senior Vice President, Ashley Hunter, stated, “It is exciting for me to see how McKay Public Affairs has grown in just four short years. What started as a one-woman shop has become a small business that offers our clients personalized services that they simply could not get elsewhere. With a strong background in journalism and research, Kasey will be an amazing addition to our team. We look forward to what 2015 has in store for MPA.”

Recently, McKay Public Affairs also began offering clients a subscription-based publication, The South Carolina Purchasing & Procurement Digest. The Digest is a one-of-a kind publication that takes the element of searching for funding out of getting your next project off the ground. Many people do not know where to look for various pots of money at the federal, state, local and corporative-giving levels. The Digest takes care of that for you, and allows your grants and management teams to spend 100% of their time focusing on writing applications for new grants and managing the grants you currently have in place.
