Experienced executive recruiter reviewing candidate profiles at her desk

A well-worn rolodex of marketing leaders

Since 1986, we have matched Boston-based companies with senior marketing, communications, and digital media talent that fits.

MARKETING & COMMS

The best hire is not the one with the best resume

A brilliant marketer who does not fit your culture will fail. We find the rare match between skill set and workplace style that actually sticks.

Marketing leadership

Marketing leadership

VP of marketing, CMO, brand director — we place the person who leads the strategy, not just the execution.

Communications strategy

Communications strategy

Corporate comms, PR, internal engagement. We find the communicator who can shape how your company is heard.

Digital media roles

Digital media roles

Social media director, digital strategist, content lead. The kind of digital talent that knows channels, not trends.

Marketing research

Marketing research

Consumer insights, market analysis, brand tracking. Researchers who turn data into decisions, not decoration.

38 years of results

More than 350 placements in marketing and communications

Our track record is built on matching the right executive with the right team. That fit is what makes a hire last.

Susan found us a VP of Marketing who understood our B2B tech space better than candidates from three larger agencies. She had the person in front of us within two weeks.

Jennifer Holt

Jennifer Holt

Chief Revenue Officer, BeaconPoint Software

Michael Tran

Michael Tran

Chief Communications Officer, Glenbridge Industries

The cultural fit was spot-on. Our new digital media director didn't just have the skills — she understood how we operate. She's been with us three years now.

Patricia Owens

Patricia Owens
