Roseville, Calif. Halldin Public Relations announced today that Tracy Tierney, a graduate from the University of Oregon's School of Journalism and Communication, and Jeremy Burgess, a former radio personality with Salem Sacramento, have joined the firm and will serve as associates.
'Both Jeremy and Tracy bring diverse journalism backgrounds, which will enhance the depth of services we provide clients,' said Bill Halldin, principal of the firm. 'Their varied experiences will be a great asset to our team, and we're happy to have them on board.'
Burgess has more than 15 years of experience in radio programming, promotions and copywriting.
