Qorvis MSLGROUP Hires Colleen Wilber as Vice President of Media Relations

WASHINGTON, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Qorvis MSLGROUP has named Colleen Wilber, previously recognized by an industry trade as one of the nation's best media professionals, as vice president. Wilber brings more than a decade of public relations, journalism and media experience to Qorvis MSLGROUP's Washington, D.C. office, where she will provide strategic counsel and execute media outreach for a host of key clients.

Wilber comes to Qorvis MSLGROUP from America's Promise Alliance where she served as vice president of media relations, handling all media relations efforts related to the organization's national campaign to end the high school dropout crisis. Prior to joining America's Promise Alliance in 2007, Wilber worked as part of the national media advocacy team at the American Cancer Society. She began her career working in radio and television newsrooms.

"When it comes to delivering significant media results, Colleen Wilber is one of the best in the business," said Michael Petruzzello, public affairs practice director for MSLGROUP North America and president of Qorvis MSLGROUP. "Qorvis MSLGROUP is known for its strong public and media relations offering, and Colleen is an important asset to add to our team." 

"Qorvis MSLGROUP understands that media relations is a crucial part of a successful integrated communications strategy," said Wilber. "I'm looking forward to helping the firm grow its already impressive media connections as a part of its ambitious new business efforts."

Recent new hires follow a swell of activity at Qorvis MSLGROUP. The company, which recently became part of MSLGROUP after an acquisition by Publicis Groupe, has also gained several domestic and international new business wins since the beginning of the year.
