MHW Public Relations

MHW Public Relations, based in Leawood, Kansas, works with clients that span publicly-traded defense contractors and community nonprofits alike. Its roster includes BAE Systems and BAE Systems Land and Armaments (Virginia), General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (Vermont), the Command and General Staff College Foundation in Kansas, the Greater Kansas City Chapter of AUSA, and the Overland Park Rotary Club's Youth Leadership Initiative. That mix reflects a practice built around organizations with public visibility requirements, whether corporate, military-affiliated, or civic.

Services cover strategic communications, crisis communications, internal communications, media relations, community relations, and web communications, alongside a broad range of writing work: press releases, awards nominations, speeches, letters, and reports. This combination lets the firm handle both the planning side of communications work and the day-to-day writing output that clients need for external and internal audiences.

MHW PR is a Certified Veteran Owned Small Business, a designation tied directly to founder Mark H. Wiggins, who retired from the U.S. Army in fall 2004 as a Lieutenant Colonel. That background informs the firm's work with defense-sector clients like BAE Systems and General Dynadmics, as well as military-affiliated organizations such as AUSA's Kansas City chapter and the Command and General Staff College Foundation. Wiggins is described as having broad knowledge across the many facets of public relations, and the firm's client list, ranging from large publicly-traded companies to nonprofits and community groups, indicates a practice built on relationships across sectors rather than a single industry focus.
