Werth

Werth has operated out of Columbus, Ohio since 1963, when the firm was founded by Julie Granillo's grandfather. Granillo now leads the agency as President and CEO, representing the third generation of family leadership, and the firm counts top leaders across disciplines among the clients who have relied on it over six decades.

The agency's work spans media relations, public affairs, and issues and crisis management, paired with integrated marketing and advertising and digital and web strategy. Thought leadership and brand storytelling sit alongside writing and editorial services, branding and design, and video and photography, with alliances and coalition building rounding out how Werth approaches client campaigns that touch both communications and public policy.

In 2021, Werth launched a first-of-its-kind public policy poll of the Ohio state legislature, developed in collaboration with Gongwer, described as Ohio's home for policy and politics. The project reflects the firm's reach into public affairs work beyond traditional media placement, connecting polling and coalition-building capabilities to its longer-standing media relations and brand storytelling practice.
