“Clients turn to us to develop, scale and execute complex, multi-faceted engagement campaigns,” says Cynthia Hudson, founder, board chair and CEO of HudsonLake. “Grant’s experience guiding organizations through extraordinary transformation, rebranding and public outreach initiatives is valuable to the evolving needs of our clients. They will benefit greatly from his strategic mindset and talent for identifying and addressing gaps and opportunities.”
Says McLaughlin, “HudsonLake’s client portfolio, business model and culture makes it different from others in the space. As organizations come to grips with a dramatically changing work environment, HudsonLake helps them figure it out and engage key stakeholders with fresh ideas, high quality deliverables and speed of execution that you just don’t see from other firms.”
Also joining HudsonLake’s strategic communications practice are Milford, Connecticut-based Alicia DiGennaro, formerly head of communications at Hubbell Incorporated, and Ryan Short, a Portland, Oregon-based internal communications specialist and former head of corporate communications at Lattice Semiconductor.
