Arnold Gets Hyatt Hotels, Adds Ranson to Head PR

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Arnold Communi-cations of McLean, Va., has won the Eastern division of Chicago-based Hyatt Hotels Corp. on the heels of hiring a new senior vice president of public relations to bolster the agency’s presence here.
Robert Ranson has been named to lead Arnold’s public relations unit partly in response to client requests for that service. “We have expanded our public relations division to manage the increased demand for public relations from both existing and potential clients,” said Pete Hanley, president of Arnold Communications.
The Hyatt account is a newly consolidated piece of business with an undetermined budget.
