Brenda Stier and Sandy Fekete, public relations and marketing firm owners with more than two dozen years’ experience, have merged their Central Ohio agencies.
Fekete has moved her operations from Bethel Road into a Stier-owned building in Worthington. The combined agency has 10 employees, eight of whom are from Stier’s Marketing Works Inc.
Fekete’s firm generated PR revenue of $581,283 last year, according to Columbus Business First research. Stier said the combined firm would bring in more than $1 million. Fekete & Co. opened in 1983. Stier formed Marketing Works in 1996. Before that she was a co-owner of Greencrest Marketing, a firm she co-founded in the 1980s.
Stier will be responsible for networking, new-business development and maintaining client relationships, while Fekete will oversee operations. A decision on the company’s name hasn’t been made.
