John Himle Joins Padilla as Executive Vice President, Senior Counsel
Padilla announced today that John Himle, founder and CEO of Himle
Rapp & Company, Inc., now Rapp Strategies, is joining the agency as
executive vice president and senior counsel in early October. Himle is a
seasoned public relations practitioner with more than 35 years of
experience in strategic counsel, public affairs, enterprise risk
management, corporate reputation and crisis management. Himle’s
expertise spans several sectors including transportation, financial
services, health care, regulated industries, agribusiness, energy and
environmental.
“With his experience in corporate strategy, enterprise risk management and public affairs, John will enhance Padilla’s Corporate Practice, which has expertise in investor relations, employee engagement, and crisis and critical issues management,” said Padilla CEO Lynn Casey. “We’re excited to add his knowledge to Padilla’s robust group of talented corporate communications and crisis management professionals who help clients build, grow and protect their brands and reputations.”
First elected in 1980, Himle served five terms as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives and held leadership positions including assistant majority leader, floor leader and assistant minority leader.

Twin Cities Marketing Non-Profit Announces First Female President
The Minnesota Search Engine
Marketing Association (MnSearch) announced today it has appointed its
first female president, Jolina Pettice. As President, Jolina will help
underscore the importance of gender diversity in marketing tech, and
aims to inspire other women to get involved in this community.
With Huffington Post citing 2017 as “Year of Women” and on the heels of TIME Magazine’s “Firsts: Women Who Are Changing the World,” the organization is thrilled to fall lockstep in place with these nationwide efforts. Jolina will take the reins on October 11, giving up her previous seat as secretary on the MnSearch Board. “It truly is a momentous occasion to have Jolina move into this role,” said Tony Tellijohn, MnSearch’s outgoing president. “She was one of the first board members we added after forming, and served for two years as our first membership director before spending the last two years on our Executive Committee. We are certain her experience, focus and leadership will benefit MnSearch members tremendously during her term.”
In her new position, Jolina is determined to elevate the organization’s profile within the Twin Cities community, and continue expanding on existing efforts such as increasing membership diversity and encouraging women in marketing tech. “Our organization encompasses members from a range of backgrounds, including marketing, search, content, digital and more. We will continue to play an integral part in helping these professionals excel in their jobs, grow in their careers and connect with each other locally, but we’ll also focus on broadening our perspectives and growing our diverse base in the process,” says Jolina. “On a personal level, it’s my mission to help women advance their careers and assume leadership positions, and this platform will be a great way to continue those efforts.”

Zipko Strategy and the Connolly Kuhl Group Join Together to Launch Velocity Public Affairs
Zipko Strategy and the
Connolly Kuhl Group today announced they have joined together to create
Velocity Public Affairs. Velocity
is built on two long-standing, successful firms that have already been
supporting similar clients with strategic services. The new, full-service public affairs firm is committed to bringing their clients exceptional service
through strategic planning, grassroots marketing and mobilization, government
relations, marketing communications, coalition building and media relations.
“The challenges people face today are often more complex and intense because of how technology has blurred what used to be clear lines between marketing, public relations, business, and politics,” said Carl Kuhl, Principal of Velocity Public Affairs. “Our background and blend of experience is important today in a marketplace where a tweet or Facebook post can create an immediate challenge or opportunity for a company or organization. Our focus is using our experience to create meaningful results for our clients.”
“Our two companies have been very fortunate to have been able to serve clients across the region and in different marketplaces,” said Patrick Connolly, co-founder and principal of Velocity Public Affairs. “We are fierce advocates for our clients and together as Velocity we are excited about the chance to do more to help create results and impact.
