RIESTER

SALT LAKE CITY (Feb. 11, 2009) – RIESTER, a Salt Lake City full-service advertising, public relations and public affairs firm, has relocated to the heart of downtown Salt Lake City.  Previously located on South Temple, RIESTER’s new location on Pierpont Avenue will provide the company an intimate setting with plenty of room for future expansion.

“After spending years in our old space on South Temple, the new building owners notified us of their plans to occupy the entire building,” said Tim Riester, president and CEO of RIESTER. “The need to move gave us a wonderful opportunity to evolve our Salt Lake City operations, not only maintaining our edge, but continuing the development of our business – for our talented staff and valued client partners.”

In addition to its Salt Lake City staff, RIESTER maintains a strong presence throughout the Western United States – including at its headquarters in Phoenix, office in Los Angeles and through key personnel located in Olympia, Washington and Denver. This strategy allows the agency to provide superior client service and locally informed communications campaigns throughout the region. The Salt Lake City location serves as the agency’s lead office for Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West clients.

Currently celebrating its 20th year of operations, RIESTER maintains more than 52 accounts, totaling $100 million in billing. RIESTER has grown to include more than 100 employees- and has attracted such notable clients as Hormel Grocery Products, Idahoan, Utah’s End Meth Now campaign, McDonalds, Rio Tinto, Clark Planetarium and the California Department of Conservation’s Recycling Campaign.

The new RIESTER Salt Lake City office is located at 132 West Pierpont Avenue, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, UT 84101. RIESTER professionals can still be reached at 801-532-7333 or by fax at 801-532-6029.
