Consensus Communications announced today that Christina Morton, APR, has joined its public relations team. Christina is an accredited and awarding-winning public relations professional. Her emphasis is in media relations, social media and community relations.

“We are excited to add Christina to our team,” said Dana Loncar, Principal with Consensus. “She is relentless in pursuing stories, responding to the press and creating winning media strategies.”

She successfully managed national media relations and community relations campaigns in key markets across the United States for First Watch Restaurants, Inc. She also helped lead the social media strategy for Moffitt Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in Florida, and was part of the grand opening media relations team for Nemours Children’s Hospital in 2012.

In addition, she assisted in managing several key accounts, which included work with the City of Orlando’s Downtown Development Board, H&R Block and Insperity. She previously worked for Fry Hammond Barr and CBR Public Relations.

“Christina’s skills and experience in mastering social media communication tools is already benefitting our clients and we look forward to continuing to bring this important element to our strategies,” said Tre’ Evers, President of Consensus Communications.

Christina currently serves as a board member of the Orlando Regional Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). In 2013, she received a local Image Award and Award of Distinction from the Orlando Area Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association (FPRA) for her work with First Watch and Nemours.

Christina graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in public relations and political science.
