Four Leaf Communications has been nominated for New Business of the Year by the De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce as part of its 3rd Annual Awards and Celebration Gala.

The nomination comes during the firm’s first year of operation. Founded by longtime local news leader John Laughrin, Four Leaf Communications was created to help businesses and nonprofit organizations in Northeast Wisconsin strengthen their messaging, build visibility, and connect more effectively with the audiences they serve.

Before launching Four Leaf Communications, Laughrin spent 25 years in local television news leadership roles at WLUK, NBC 26, and WFRV. During that time, he led newsroom teams through major local and national events while building a reputation for strong storytelling and community-focused journalism.

Since its launch, Four Leaf Communications has partnered with a variety of local organizations and businesses, providing strategic communications guidance, media outreach, and targeted advertising strategies designed to help clients grow and succeed.

Laughrin says the nomination reflects the strength of the community and the relationships that helped the firm get off to a strong start.

“This recognition means a lot during our first year,” Laughrin said. “Northeast Wisconsin is filled with incredible businesses and organizations doing meaningful work. It’s been rewarding to help tell those stories and support their success.”

The De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce will announce the award winners at the Awards and Celebration Gala on April 23 at the Swan Club.

Four Leaf Communications is based in Green Bay and works with organizations across Northeast Wisconsin.
