The company started up in 1946, in St. Louis, Missouri with only the two founders, Alfred Fleishman and Bob Hillard. Then for more than twenty years their customer base was largely limited to regional clients. John Graham who as of 2010 serves as chairman, was president of the company from 1974 to 2006. Under his command the company grew to encompass offices on six continents. Graham was succeeded by Dave Senay. Senay is the company's third and current CEO. The company was acquired by Omnicom Group in 1997. The latest office to adjoin the FH network has been a Swedish affiliate.
