History
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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
