Las Vegas-based public relations and digital marketing agency Purdue Marion & Associates has become an employee-owned company called The PMA Agency.  The award-winning agency was established in 2001, and for the past 24 years, Purdue Marion has provided public relations, video and digital asset creation, community outreach, digital marketing and branding services to clients in Nevada and across the country. The agency’s diverse clients have included top brands in hospitality, education, utilities, real estate and development as well as municipal governments. The PMA Agency will continue to serve Purdue Marion & Associates’ current clients.



“Purdue Marion & Associates’ longevity and success are because of the hard work and talent of our staff,” said Lynn Purdue, Purdue Marion & Associates principal and founder. “We want to share that success with our team and watch them carry on the work of the agency as they build their legacy.”



The PMA Agency will be led by Michele Voelkening, serving as president and managing partner and Gaby Rodriguez as vice president of public relations and community outreach. Purdue Marion & Associates' principals and founders, Lynn Purdue and Bill Marion, will continue to work with agency clients and serve as advisors in their roles as agency partners.

               

New to the team is April Mastroluca, who will serve as vice president of strategy and public policy.  A former member of the Nevada Assembly representing District 29 from 2008 to 2012, Mastroluca has vast experience in stakeholder engagement, strategic planning and meeting facilitation for both for-profit and non-profit organizations.



“The PMA Agency brings together a team that has worked side by side for years to build one of Nevada’s most respected PR and digital marketing firms,” said Voelkening. “Our new name both honors our roots as Purdue Marion & Associates and reflects the evolution of our company and services. With the addition of April, we’re uniquely positioned to help clients define a clear path forward—and then create and execute the marketing and communications strategies to support it.”
