SE2, Artemis Big PR Winners in Pinnacol ‘Push to Privatize’
Ed Sealover at the Denver Business Journal has crunched the numbers on Pinnacol Assurance’s “pricey push to privatize,” and the big public relations winners in the effort are:

Artemis Communications – $77,725 in fees
Rockford Gray – $58,438 in fees
Galloway Group – $23,600 in fees
Of course, law firms billed nearly $1.5 million, so “big winners” is more of a relative term.
