CAMBRIDGE, MA: FitzGerald Communications has pulled off another hiring coup, this time stealing from the nests of Hill & Knowlton and Weber to grow its management team.
CAMBRIDGE, MA: FitzGerald Communications has pulled off another
hiring coup, this time stealing from the nests of Hill & Knowlton and
Weber to grow its management team.
The agency lured Nicole Russell away from her post as deputy GM of H&K’s
New York office to serve as vice president in its San Francisco office,
and snagged seven-year Weber veteran Kathy Wilson to serve as vice
president in its Cambridge office. Wilson starts in her new position
next Monday, while Russell begins on December 1.
The moves come on the heels of the agency’s poaching of former
Fleishman-Hillard GM John Berard, who now heads up FitzGerald’s San
Francisco office (PRWeek, May 31).
Russell described her decision to leave H&K for the independent agency
as ’an easy one from a professional standpoint.’ Added Wilson, ’There
was very active recruitment on (Maura FitzGerald’s) part, and I’m
excited by the opportunity to help shape an organization.’
