Houston Agencies Cope with Storm: 'Please Pray for Our City'
Posted in: Uncategorized
Houston-area ad and PR agencies are among the businesses dealing with the epic storm that has deluged parts of the region with as much as 30 inches of rain since Saturday night. Some agencies remain closed on Monday as the city copes with the havoc wrought by Hurrican Harvey, freeing employees to pitch in on volunteer efforts as rising floodwaters displace thousands of residents, with no immediate end in sight.
The Houston office of PR giant FleishmanHillard was among the shops that shut down. “We’re very thankful that all of our employees and their families are safe and out of harm’s way,” says a FleishmanHillard spokeswoman. The agency has reached out to the Houston Food Bank to offer assistance and is also “providing information to our employees across the country with information on how they can donate to rescue and recovery efforts,” she says.
Last Wednesday, Edelman announced internally that it would close the Houston office on Friday so that staff could leave the path of Harvey and prepare their homes for the storm. Staff without family in the state were offered housing in Dallas.
