Crafting Effective Business Communications
Laura Frnka-Davis, APR
Laura A. Frnka-Davis, APR, is the principal of LFD Communications, a woman-owned public relations agency based in Pearland, Texas. Over the last six years, she has assisted a wide range of businesses and nonprofits with their communications needs.
Her client roster includes renowned names such as Catholic Charities, Teach for America Houston, Cizik School of Nursing at UTHealth Houston, Members Choice Credit Union, Writers in the Schools, and Spring Branch Independent School District. In 2020, she led the publicity campaign for the opening of a major family-friendly luxury resort north of Houston. This project earned her team a prestigious Platinum Marcom Award in the media relations category.
Before founding LFD Communications, Laura honed her expertise at some of Houston’s well-known nonprofits and businesses, including Texas Children’s Hospital, Pierpont Communications, and LifeGift. Her comprehensive understanding of multiple communications disciplines, from media relations to PR writing to internal and external communications, including crisis communications, instills confidence in her clients and collaborators.
In recognition of her outstanding contributions to the field, Laura was named the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Houston Chapter Solo Practitioner of the Year in 2020. Her continued success was marked by silver Excalibur awards in integrated communications for campaigns associated with the Houston Botanic Garden in 2021 and 2022 and a bronze PRSA Houston Excalibur award in 2023 for her work with Teach For America Houston. In 2024, LFD Communications further solidified its reputation, bringing home two awards from PRSA Houston and one from the International Association of Business Communications (IABC) Houston.
In addition to her professional achievements, Laura is dedicated to sharing her expertise and contributing to the industry. She is an esteemed instructor for the Leadership Institute for Nonprofit Executives at Rice University, where she imparts her knowledge through a public relations and marketing module. She is also an active member of the PRSA Independent Practitioner Alliance and Solo PR Pros. Last year, she served as chair of the PRSA Houston Excalibur Awards, further demonstrating her commitment to the profession.
Laura graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, where she majored in journalism and minored in marketing.
