Martin Waymire

10/30/2024

For the past 20 years, Martin Waymire has delivered on our passion for making Michigan a better place through our nationally recognized public relations and advocacy work. Today, we’re excited to announce Martin Waymire is rebranding as Bellwether Public Relations.

Audience preferences, industry methodologies and client needs are constantly evolving — and so are we. Our new name reflects Michigan’s role as a leader in pivotal moments across politics, industry, culture and policy, and it represents our vision of continuing to be at the forefront of public relations and advocacy efforts.

Though our name is changing, our goal remains the same: to leave the world a little better than we found it.
