Newman & Newman

Newman & Newman is a Houston-based firm of communication strategists that works with purpose-driven organizations and individuals, from healthcare leaders like Juliet Breeze, M.D. of Next Level Urgent Care and Christine Lum Lung, MD, MBA of Origin Healthcare, to researcher and author Brené Brown, former Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator Francisco Sánchez, Jr., and the College of the Mainland Foundation under Lisa Watson, PhD. The firm's focus is on messages that articulate an organization's purpose and connect it with its intended audiences.

Services span messaging and voice development, brand strategy and positioning, corporate communications, media relations, thought leadership PR, and crisis communications, built around strategic communications planning and a proprietary process the firm calls Experienced Messaging®. Kelli B. Newman, APR, serves as president, and the firm has held accreditation from the Public Relations Society of America since 1989.

The agency's marketing tools have been recognized industry-wide: a Telly Gold award for "It's Only A White Line," produced for client Houston TranStar, and an Award of Distinction-Silver for the Adult Literacy Program in the Online Advertising & Marketing category. These outcomes reflect the firm's stated aim of producing marketing tools that effectively connect organizations with their audiences, rather than communications work built on generic templates.
