Prior to FH, Huxley created social media measurement and promotion strategies for brands such as NBC, Chrysler, Sony Pictures, and Honda while at New Media Strategies.

"Sam Huxley is one of the nation’s most sought-after digital strategists and his background working for some of the biggest names in the world will bolster LEVICK’s existing reputation working on high-profile global crisis issues,” said Richard Levick, CEO and chairman of Levick.

Huxley will work out of Levick's Washington, D.C., headquarters and serve as an advisor on company accounts.

Last summer, another FH staffer, Kathryn DeVito, partner and senior VP at the agency's digital practice in D.C., joined Levick as a senior VP and head of digital.
