Craig McDaniel, APR, has built a 25-year career in public relations and journalism, developing creative programs to help corporations, nonprofits and government agencies achieve their business and service goals.
Before becoming an independent practitioner, he managed account teams at one of the Southwest’s largest full-service public relations agencies, focusing on clients in hospitality, healthcare, finance, architecture, construction, real estate, technology, luxury retail and wholesale distribution.
Cool in a crisis, he has handled communications responsibilities during natural disasters, hostile business events, humanitarian relief, air crashes, fatal workplace accidents and the aftermath of the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion.
Craig is a decorated veteran, attending U.S. Air Force pilot training and serving as a public affairs officer in the United States and on assignment in Europe and the Middle East. He was the public affairs advisor at the Canadian Consulate General in Dallas dealing with the pre-NAFTA bilateral free-trade agreement and issues ranging from energy, foreign investment and natural resources to the environment, tourism and immigration.
He had worldwide responsibilities as marketing and communications director of Young Presidents’ Organization, an international educational organization of chief executive officers. He was an editor at the Dallas Times Herald and other newspapers, and is one of only 5,000 accredited public relations professionals, a designation earned from the Public Relations Society of America in 1990.
Leadership in neighborhoods and on City of Dallas advisory boards for housing finance and the arts lead to Craig’s service for two terms (1993-1997) on the Dallas City Council where he was chairman of the council’s Legislative Affairs Committee and its Arts, Education and Libraries Committee. He was active on other committees dealing with transportation, telecommunications, finance, and women and minority owned business. He represented Dallas on the Regional Transportation Council and at the National League of Cities and Texas Municipal League. |
