On top of a mountain.
We’re proud to announce that George Merritt is joining OnSight as our Senior Strategist. In the world of Colorado politics and media, he’s second to none. And as The Post’s Lynn Bartels points out below, with that accent, even bad news sounds good.
Two firms with deep ties to the Colorado Capitol have announced new hires.
OnSight Public Affairs announced it has hired the always amiable George Merritt as a strategist and communications guru.
Merritt, a former Denver Post reporter, served as the communications director for John Hickenlooper’s gubernatorial campaign. At the Capitol he carries water for the Colorado Licensed Beverage Association during the annual breweries battle.
“We’re lucky to have him,” OnSight founding partner Ben Davis said. “He’s the most effective, hardest working public affairs guy in Colorado from North Carolina with a great accent and phenomenal attitude we could have hired. That’s a pretty specific position we were looking to fill.”
Not to mention, Merritt’s Tweets are great reading.
