TALLAHASSEE, Fla., March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Patrick Slevin, a seasoned strategic communicator, has been named senior vice president and general manager of Hill & Knowlton's Tallahassee office. His appointment bolsters the firm's presence in one of the nation's most strategic and dynamic state capitols. Slevin presents an extensive record of public relations and public affairs success.

"Patrick has earned a national reputation as a politically savvy public relations/public affairs strategist and we're excited to have him join the firm," said Harry Costello, executive vice president of Florida operations.
