Dempster brings added international, energy expertise to McBee Strategic

WASHINGTON, March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- McBee Strategic Consulting (MSC), LLC, a leading advocacy and strategic communications firm, today announced that it has hired Will Dempster as a Vice President in its communications practice.

Immediately prior to joining McBee, Dempster served as the Press Secretary for the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and as Deputy Communications Director for former Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's reelection campaign. On the Senate Energy Committee, Dempster led the messaging and press outreach effort for a number of high profile issues including the Keystone XL Pipeline, Liquefied Natural Gas exports, and the Export-Import Bank.

Before working on the Hill, Dempster was a Senior Director at Qorvis Communications and a Vice President of its Geopolitical Solutions division. In this role, he managed international accounts and served as a senior strategist on high profile public affairs campaigns. In 2012, PR News named Dempster a finalist for its Crisis Manager of the Year Award. He holds an MA in Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a BA in International Affairs from George Washington University.

"Will's rare blend of agency, campaign, and Hill experience adds to the expertise our clients have come to expect from us in executing innovative campaigns that resonate inside the Beltway and across the world," said Eric Bovim, Managing Director of MSC's Communications Practice and a member of the firm's Executive Committee.

Last year MSC, through an acquisition by Wiley Rein, became an independent subsidiary of the law firm. Together, they create a Washington, D.C. legal, advocacy and communications powerhouse providing sophisticated client services.

"Successful strategies require using the right tools at the right time," said MSC Managing Director and executive committee member Sam Whitehorn. "Will provides us an ability to give our clients a deep understanding of the effectiveness of communications and how it plays and impacts the advocacy world."

"McBee sets the standard in Washington for integrating communications and government affairs to win for its clients," Dempster said. "I look forward to joining the deep, experienced, and talented team it has assembled."
