Horsford’s R&R; Resources+ communications and workforce strategy firm was recently named the agency of record to lead branding efforts focused particularly on the region’s diversity for the $1.3 billion casino-resort project expected to open next year.
Las Vegas-based R&R; Partners, the firm behind the “What Happens Here, Stays Here” advertising campaign, is a minority investor in his agency and will be assisting.
Horsford partnered with R&R; in April. He started his career at the firm in 1996. His R&R; Resources+ is a certified minority business enterprise.
