Driving event attendance
SEA Limited, a product-testing and investigative company that verifies impartial product safety, demonstrated its rollover-crash simulator recently with special guest E.

Energized about a new client
The Ohio Oil and Gas Association is a statewide trade association that is actively involved in the exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas within the state. Our multi-faceted relationship with this energy supplier runs the gamut from media-relations and issues management, to membership engagement and branding efforts.
Food for Thought
We’ve been helping the Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association (OCWGA) increase awareness about the significance of the 2012 Farm Bill, originally drafted as the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, on behalf of Ohio’s farming community and the state’s economy. OCWGA is voicing its recommendations for the bill’s modifications to safeguard agriculture while decreasing the federal deficit.
Fun with FH
Staff Questions: What sparks your light bulb? When/Where do your ideas come to you?
Tom Heiby, CEO: I can honestly say that my best ideas hit me at 3:30 in the morning!!
Doug Frazier, CCO: Most ideas come from hard thinking and research to spur my brain. Otherwise, I wake up almost every night at 3 o’clock with new ideas for client programs. If I don't write them down, I can’t go back to sleep.
Denise Clark, director of client services: While getting ready for work…or during the night in my sleep.
Kathleen Anthony, account supervisor: Inspiration can hit at anytime, but running on the treadmill listening to really loud music never fails to get the brain cells popping.
Andrea Bils, account executive: I have creative thoughts while driving and while in the shower…I keep a notepad in my glove box but it’s more difficult to stash stationery in the bathroom!
Michelle Leitzy, account executive: Right before I fall asleep — I always keep a notebook and pen in my nightstand so I can capture those ideas!
Michael Iles, senior graphic designer: When: All day and night... I feel like I am constantly making mental notes! Where: At work, in the car, in the backyard, when I’m playing with the kids, in bed, at the dinner table, in the shower...Pretty much everywhere.
Wesleigh Mowry, graphic designer: Usually ideas come to me at the last possible moment before a looming deadline. Don’t tell my college professors, but all of my best work was done the night before it was due! My family tells me that I procrastinate but I like to think of it as “creative timing.”
