Since becoming McDonald’s Denver Co-op PR agency of record more than a decade ago, Fitzgerald Petersen has increased the national restaurant’s positive visibility by over 250%. Our opportunities with McDonald’s have spanned large celebrity events like The Williams Sister national tour/exhibition match in Denver and executing a statewide media event for the groundbreaking and opening of the Ronald McDonald House near the Anschutz Medical Center in Aurora. We single-handedly managed the launch of McDonald’s Balance Active Lifestyle Communications plan and all media aspects of McDonald’s product launches in the market. More »

Much like the McDonald’s reputation management work, FPC has provided similar services to Walmart as its Agency of Record for 5 years. All work we do on behalf of Walmart contributes to ensuring that the media include Walmart’s voice and when the media gets it wrong, we don’t sit idly by hoping that people know it’s ‘untrue,’ we make sure it’s corrected through Letters to the Editor, Op-Eds, responses to letters, sit down meetings with editors, etc. FPC is well versed in ensuring that our contacts in the media give Walmart a ‘fair shake’ at telling their side of the story for every story.
