Veteran reporter and PR pro Linda Obele has joined Scottsdale-based public relations and content marketing firm Olson Communications (www.olsoncomm.com) as account manager. Obele will oversee the agency's real estate and construction accounts.

"Linda is a great addition to Olson, as she will lead and grow our real estate and development sectors both locally and nationally," said Michelle Olson, APR, president of Olson Communications.
