Welcome New Owners

We’re excited to announce our new ownership group!

High 5 welcomes Doug Whitehead, Ryan Bohl, and Sarah Bohl to our ownership group and board of directors. Darren Heckman remains co-owner and chairman of the board.

“Since 2006, High 5 has successfully facilitated brand awareness, and business success and growth for a diverse set of clients,” said Board Chair, Darren Heckman. “Our new ownership group will help pave the way for new opportunities to apply our expertise.”

As a result of the ownership change, Heckman has shifted out of the day-to-day operations of High 5.  Agency operations are now under the direction of Senior Vice President, Rebecca Scheuler and Vice President of Strategy, Sarah Williams.

The Bohls, longtime business owners and leaders in the community, and Whitehead, who has served in various advisory and leadership positions both locally and nationally, will complement the agency’s already optimistic outlook for growth in 2025.

“Our creative and strategy teams are excited to welcome our new owners and look forward to continued growth with their support,” said Rebecca Scheuler, Senior Vice President at High 5.  

High 5 Communications is a strategic marketing, communications, and placement firm located at 627 West McCarty in Jefferson City.  Established in 2006, High 5 supports clients in multiple verticals including finance, agriculture, education, healthcare, and manufacturing.
