FEAREY OFFICES
Aaron Blank
CEO & President
When Aaron accepted a role as a Fearey senior account executive in 2005, he had little idea that he was stepping onto a path that would lead to ownership of one of the region’s most iconic public relations firms.
Since taking over as Fearey’s CEO and president in 2014, Aaron has led the firm through continuous double-digital annual growth, and solidified the firm’s reputation as a creative communications pioneer. When the City of Seattle secured its first NHL team in decades, local leaders turned to Aaron to help steer the rollout. When a construction disaster brought despair to one of the city’s most familiar streets, he was enlisted to help bring clarity to the confusion.
Named to the “40 under 40” list by the Puget Sound Business Journal and PR Week, Aaron is committed to making a lasting impact throughout the region and beyond. He is involved with The ArtsFund and Children’s Hopechest, and served as the second-youngest president of the Public Relations Global Network, an organization with 54 offices on six continents.
Aaron is a firm believer in the “never eat alone” mentality, with one lonely exception: breakfast. If anyone would like to join him at 4:30am, they’re more than welcome.

Executive Vice President
With more than two decades of leadership in the field of communications, Regan Sheehy is a visionary known for her strategic thinking, creative storytelling, and executive coaching. As Executive Vice President, Regan plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the agency by ensuring seamless collaboration across all departments and optimizing team performance. In addition to driving Fearey’s organizational success, Regan supports business development, crisis response and issues management work, and strategic client initiatives.
Regan has served in senior leadership roles across a range of consumer brands including 14 years with the Xbox team at Microsoft, where she directed communications for Xbox Game Studios and the Minecraft franchise, among others. Prior to Microsoft, she led communications for the Washington Wine Commission, promoting the state’s award-winning wines, vineyards, and wine tourism destinations. Regan’s career began at Edelman where she managed publicity campaigns for national consumer clients, storied Seattle institutions and civic projects including the Museum of Pop Culture, Lumen Field, and the architecturally stunning Seattle Central Library.
Trained as a professional coach, she is working to attain her International Coaching Federation certification.

JACQUE GAIRRETT

At Fearey, Jacque oversees the agency’s health care and nonprofit practice, and is well-known for her creative media storytelling and thought leadership efforts, helping clients get published nationally.
A native Oregonian, Jacque now calls Montana home and spends her free time working on her house, traversing the outdoors and testing out new recipes in her kitchen.
JESSE REHM

She has experience working on digital brand strategy, loyalty marketing, and building creative for clients like Dunkin’, The Home Depot, Verizon and Alaska Airlines.
When the work day is done, Jesse spends time with her family outside as much as possible. Biking, skiing, camping – anything for some fresh air.
JILL WIGGINS
Vice President
Jill leads the Community Marketing effort for Fearey, which supports our region’s largest employer in their efforts to be a community partner, resource provider, and coalition builder across the company’s South Lake Union headquarters in Seattle and beyond.

A Southern California native, Jill has called the Pacific Northwest home for more than 20 years. She left commuting on the 110 Freeway, spending time at SouthBay beaches, and going to USC football games for urban living in Greenlake, listening to live music, and wearing her USC gear at Husky football games.
KYLE WALL
Vice President
A veteran of the New York City publicity and communications circuit, Kyle comes to Fearey following 7 years of music- and technology-focused PR in the city that never sleeps. His career has included a variety of eclectic brands including Mixcloud, Bandsintown, 7digital, and Music & Memory, as well as artists including Kenny Chesney, Chicago, Dr. John, and The Polyphonic Spree.
At Fearey, Kyle leads a variety of accounts with a passion for uncovering new narratives that can cut through the noise and novel ways to position clients through unique campaigns.
