Story Partners Adds New Talent to Washington DC Office

Story Partners, one of Washington’s fastest growing public affairs firms, is adding depth to their core offerings with the addition of three new team members.  Andrew Fimka, Heather Coddington, and Tamara Williams joined as Director, Associate, and Executive Assistant respectively. The trio joins the current Story Partners’ team, working in several practice areas, including the rapidly expanding technology policy, energy, and financial services arenas.

Most recently, Fimka served as Director of Political and Legislative Advocacy for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).  In that role he led NFIB’s issue advocacy and political communications campaigns that successfully targeted grassroots activists, as well as policy stakeholders.  Prior to joining NFIB, Fimka worked in a variety of campaign roles for Congressional and presidential candidates.

Heather Coddington brings a background in local and state government, corporate, and non-profit communications. With her background in website design and development, Coddington understands how digital communications play a vital role in advocacy efforts. Heather’s strength lies in the ability to build and execute online advocacy campaigns that are vital in today’s digital environment from concept to “click through.”

“Heather’s technology background and creative savvy are excellent additions to our expanding advocacy practice that specializes in advertising, online engagement and digital strategies,” said Amos Snead, Principal of Story Partners.

Williams’ experience in the technology policy arena comes from her work with the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and has enabled her to hit the ground running with existing technology clients. A native of Georgia, Tamara attended Howard University in Washington, D.C.

Gloria Dittus summed up the new additions as a tremendous gain for Story Partners’ growing client list, “We are excited to be able to choose the best and the brightest in their fields to join our team and continue to grow Story Partners at a rapid rate while providing our clients with unsurpassed service and results.  Expanding our expertise in digital public affairs combined with our strengths in traditional media create a winning combination for every client in today’s world.”
