Sachs Media is promoting Amy Climenhage and Kelly Corder to Vice President, promotions that recognize their leadership and role in the firm’s continued growth.

The promotions reflect Sachs Media’s ongoing investment in senior leadership across two of the firm’s core strengths: public affairs and public relations. Both women have steadily advanced through the firm’s leadership ranks and have earned national and statewide recognition for work in helping guide high-stakes campaigns while mentoring colleagues and deepening client relationships.

“Amy and Kelly are the kind of leaders who represent the future of Sachs Media,” Sachs Media President and Partner Drew Piers said. “They have helped fuel our growth by delivering the kind of smart strategy, steady judgment, and trusted counsel our clients count on when the stakes are high. Their promotions reflect not only their contributions to our team and clients, but also a clear commitment to making an impact.”

Climenhage has been with Sachs for seven years, rising from a public affairs intern in 2019 to an account coordinator, then executive before being promoted to senior account executive in 2022, to public affairs account manager later that same year and to deputy director of public affairs two years ago.

Since her start with the firm, Climenhage has become a trusted public affairs strategist across sectors including healthcare, education, energy, technology and public policy. She has led complex issue campaigns that have earned state and national recognition.

She was named a Top Woman in Communications by Ragan in 2024 and was previously recognized by INFLUENCE Magazine as a Rising Star in Florida Politics. Last year, she was named the Florida Public Relations Association Gainesville Chapter’s Member of the Year.

Corder’s rise has been no less meteoric. She’s been with the firm for nearly seven years, beginning in 2019 as an account manager. She was promoted the next year to senior account manager and, in 2022, to director of media relations.

Corder has established herself as one of the firm’s leading media strategists, helping clients navigate complex, high-profile communications environments and secure meaningful coverage in top national and international outlets.

She has built trusted relationships with journalists and shaped media strategies for some of the firm’s most visible work, with coverage in outlets including The New York Times, Forbes, CNN, BBC and other major news organizations. Corder was named one of PRNEWS’ 2024 Top Women in Communications and was recognized by the Florida Public Relations Association as Communicator of the Year in 2025.
