With Seven New Hires, Harrison Edwards Expands Agency Team to Serve Growing Client Roster

Updated: Oct 13, 2022


Armonk, New York (October 12, 2022)….Bob Knight, President & CEO of Harrison Edwards, Westchester County’s fastest-growing integrated marketing agency, announced today the expansion of its team with seven new hires:


Pamela Tucker, Director of Marketing and Strategy; Lisa Kaslyn, Communications Director; Kyriel Borak, Communications Specialist; Caitlin St. Jean, Communications Specialist; Shelly Schlener, Business Manager; Stefanie DiMartino, Social Media Specialist; and Sari Hubeishi, Marketing Coordinator.


The expansion of the award-winning agency’s team follows a year of impressive growth. In the past 12 months, the firm has doubled in revenue and size, increasing its footprint in Westchester County and the region with marquee clients including the Westchester County Association, Village of Pelham, North American Partners in Anesthesiology, and Larchmont/Mamaroneck STEM Alliance. At the same time, Harrison Edwards has firmly established its leading position as the nation’s go-to marketing agency for the broadband sector, adding new clients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, New York, North Carolina, and Texas.


Now the agency is looking to build on that momentum, strengthening its team with these new hires and promotions to continue providing high-performance work for top clients in broadband, real estate/economic development, healthcare, government affairs and crisis communications.


“I’m thrilled to welcome this group of outstanding professionals to our team as we strengthen our capacity to meet the needs of our rapidly-increasing roster of clients,” said Knight. “The talent and experience our professionals bring are essential to elevate our agency and services to the next level. I look forward to seeing their innovative work highlight our clients as we look to take on another year of added growth.”

Additionally, Knight announced two key staff promotions: Adam H. Brill, who joined the agency in 2021 and has played a pivotal role in building the agency’s crisis communications and government affairs practice, has been elevated to Senior Director of Communications. Benjamin Seo, who has been instrumental in growing the agency’s graphic design capabilities from concept to delivery, has been promoted to the role of Marketing Manager to oversee creative services.


“It’s rewarding to both attract and retain exceptional talent,” added Knight. “We’ve always been able to hire talented people who really care about our work and who develop client relationships based on trust and service excellence. The results are evident in the impact of our work and in the low turnover of clients, many of whom we’ve represented for several years or more.”
