BP Hires Former Dick Cheney Press Secretary
Former press secretary to Dick Cheney Anne Womack-Kolton has been hired away from agency APCO Worlwide to join BP and lead the troubled company’s U.S. media efforts around the deadly oil-spill that continues to wreak havoc on the Gulf Coast.
Womack-Kolton was previously a director at Brunswick Group, who is currently working with BP as the company’s U.S. PR agency of record.
Reuters reports what the new job will be like:
[BP] has flown in staff from London to help deal with media requests, but has also been forced to put its media hotline on voicemail to process the many calls — some abusive — that come in.
