Former Action News Jax Anchor John Bachman and former JAX Chamber executive Matt Galnor have launched Bachman Galnor Communications.
Bachman worked in television news for 27 years, the last 10 as anchor for Action News Jacksonville.
Galnor began his career in newspapers, including 10 years reporting for the Florida Times-Union before moving into corporate communications. Galnor joined the Chamber in 2014 and was named Chief Public Affairs Officer in 2019.
Bachman Galnor Communications will focus on providing businesses and organizations with a variety of consulting services, including strategic communications planning, crisis communications, content creation and media training.
“Jacksonville has become home for my family and I always knew whatever I chose to do after television, it’d be right here,” Bachman said. “I’ve been telling stories of the people of Northeast Florida for 10 years and I’m excited to continue to do so, just in a different role.”
“Working with companies of all sizes at the Chamber for the last 10 years has led me to wanting to build something from the ground up,” Galnor said. “We think we bring a unique combination of skills to the market and look forward to working with organizations to tell their stories and grow.”
