Thompson & Co. Public Relations Announces New Promotions

Sep 4, 2020 | Professional Services, Right Moves

Thompson & Co. Public Relations announced four women leaders will take on new roles. Ariel Walsh-Amand and Ally Day will help lead the agency’s executive strategy, and Bri Kelly and Kailee Wallis will contribute to the agency’s senior management team.

“These four each bring a unique and valuable skill set to the agency, and they continuously roll up their sleeves and deliver results,” said Jennifer Thompson, president and CEO of T&C. “Each of these women started at T&C as an intern or entry-level account coordinator, and I’m so proud and eager to see how their leadership will shape the future of the agency in their new positions.”

Each promotion helping uplift the agency and its clients are detailed below.

Walsh-Amand, while already an expert in onboarding new employees, accounting and managing employee benefits, among many other skills developed over eleven years at T&C, will further contribute to the overall strategic direction and decision-making of the company as COO.

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
