Firm Adds Crisis and Risk Management Expertise As It Marks Its Fourth Anniversary
Washington, D.C. – Narrative Strategies announced today the addition of a new senior team member with the hiring of David Pasch as Managing Director. Pasch is a public affairs agency veteran with more than a decade of strategic communications experience, including time in the executive branch, Congress, political advocacy, and presidential politics. Narrative also announced the additions of Keenan Doheny as Senior Manager and Drew Dacey as Strategic Communications Associate.
“David is a seasoned public affairs professional who has successfully built best-in-class campaigns, led teams, and delivered winning results for clients,” said Narrative Strategies Founding Partner Ken Spain. “David has worked across a wide range of industries – including healthcare, financial services, antitrust, technology, aviation, and more – and possesses an unparalleled understanding of the factors shaping public policy debates on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures across the country.
“Keenan’s experience helping Fortune 100 companies anticipate crises and manage their reputations is an immediate value-add as companies navigate a challenging political landscape,” Spain added. “As Narrative celebrates its fourth anniversary this month, the additions of David, Keenan, and Drew will only bolster our ability to deliver premium account management and strategic communications services for our growing roster of clients.”

There, Pasch helped construct the firm’s public affairs practice, specializing in everything from advising clients within the financial services space on mergers and acquisitions to executing full-scale issue advocacy campaigns. Previously, Pasch served as Digital Director at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and as Communications Director for U.S. Representative Peter Roskam (R-IL). He earned bachelor’s degrees in Latin American Studies and Spanish from Vanderbilt University.
Keenan Doheny joins Narrative as a Senior Manager after most recently serving as a Senior Account Supervisor on Edelman’s U.S. crisis and risk team.
