ICM Partners Ups Travis Merriweather To Senior Political Strategist
Travis Merriweather, who was pivotal in ICM Partners’ push into racial equality issues, voter mobilization and its clients’ political engagement over the past year, has been promoted to Senior Political Strategist at the agency.
The news was revealed Monday by ICM Partners CEO Chris Silbermann and Head of Politics Hannah Linkenhoker.

“Travis has had an enormous impact in executing our ambitious political vision and socially responsible vision and strategy at ICM, making himself an invaluable member of our team,” Silbermann said. “His passion for creating, organizing, and executing effective engagements gives us the power to take meaningful action on the issues that are most important to our clients and our agency. As we all aspire to do more and be more together, Travis knows how to direct that energy to tangible effect and change. We could not be prouder of his growth here at ICM and we’re honored to call him a colleague and leader.”
