PR firm Liebler Group aims to grow from its perch atop The Whitney

Bud Liebler is a self-described Detroitophile, which explains why he owns the lavish Whitney restaurant and houses his public relations firm, the Liebler Group, in its top floor.

"We're feeling pretty good about what we're doing," Liebler says. "We feel this is an opportunity in the city we love."

The Liebler Group has a staff of four people and several independent contractors. It also teams up with other PR firms as needed. Liebler expects to add 2-3 clients and looks to add staff over this year.

"We're going to take it one step at a time," Liebler says.
