All of these PR and marketing efforts, and hundreds of others like them that span WHPR’s history, come from the partners’ depth of experience, insight and imagination. WHPR is built on 22 years of experience and the knowledge flowing from that experience, including a successful career in journalism (Partner Sydney Weisman) and an equally impressive background in nonprofit leadership (Partner David Hamlin.)  Each and every client has always received their focus and counsel, which includes a personal and friendly level of service, insight and, as often as possible, wit.
