Los Angeles, California – A new public relations agency, Apex Public Relations, has recently been established by former founding partners of Slate PR, Stephen Huvane, Robin Baum, Simon Halls, and Andy Gelb. This full-service agency, with offices in Los Angeles and Manhattan, is the latest chapter in a partnership that has spanned over 30 years through various iterations.
The team at Apex is enthusiastic to continue their long-standing partnership and is looking forward to the new opportunities that come with this venture. Their dedication to combining individual strengths to create a cohesive and successful team is evident in their track record of accomplishments.
In a recent statement, the founders of Apex announced the formation of a new board of managing partners, consisting of Guido Gotz, Lindsay Maguire, Scott Newman, Jennifer Plante, Shawn Purdy, and Megan Senior. This board will play a crucial role in the day-to-day operations of Apex and will contribute to the company’s growth strategy.
Throughout their years in the industry, Huvane, Baum, and Halls have made several transitions, starting their agency in 1994 under their own names before merging with PMK to form PMK/HBH in 2001. Following their split from PMK/HBH in 2010, the partners went on to establish Slate PR, which has now evolved into Apex Public Relations.
The majority of Slate employees have transitioned to Apex, along with over 500 partner clients, including a roster of notable names such as Jennifer Aniston, Ryan Gosling, Chris Hemsworth, Anne Hathaway, George Clooney, and more. Additionally, Apex boasts a portfolio of event and brand clients, including the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the Tony Awards, Netflix, and the Westminster Kennel Club.
As Apex Public Relations emerges onto the scene, they are poised to continue their legacy of excellence in the realm of public relations and communications, with a team of seasoned professionals leading the way towards future success.
