Mark Seifert, a senior advisor in the Commerce Department, and Erik Hotmire, former SEC staffer and Senate communications director, have joined Brunswick Group’s Washington, D.C., outpost.
Hotmire, who takes a director slot at Brunswick, headed external and internal communications for the Securities and Exchange Commission chairman and senior officials since 2008, a term which included scrutiny from the financial crisis. That posting followed a stint at Clark & Weinstock.
Hotmire also managed communications for the Bush administration’s USA Freedom Corps and held PR posts for Sens. Dan Coats (R-Ind.) and Sam Brownback (R-Kan.).
Seifert, an attorney and partner at Brunswick, has been a senior adviser to the Dept. of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Agency during the Obama administration, following time in the House and at the FCC.
He worked the Kerry-Edwards and Wesley Clark presidential campaigns.
