CEO, Dave DenHerder, Receives PRWeek Recognition

In the August 2009 issue of PRWeek, Direct Impact’s Dave DenHerder was named one of the top “40 Under 40” in the Public Relations industry. This annual feature profiles individuals who have, at a young age, made a considerable influence on the industry and are considered the future of public relations.

DenHerder was nominated by a colleague and chosen due to his extensive grassroots knowledge, experience and successes. His previous work as regional director for the Bush/Cheney 2004 election paved the way for his advancement to CEO of Direct Impact in 2007. DenHerder currently oversees a number of the firm’s clients, including Ford Motor Company. Under his leadership, DI’s Washington-area offices have expanded to include three other cities.
