Kate Cusick, who most recently was senior partner/global marketing chief at Porter Novelli, will join Brunswick Group on May 16. Based in New York, she will head global marketing.

The more-than-20-year communications veteran handled Porter’s marketing, business development and integrated services, which includes research, analytics, creative, digital and paid media capabilities.

Prior to Porter, Cusick was director of project management and business development at Gardner Nelson & Partners; brand & integrated marketing director at Product (RED); VP-marketing at New York City Economic Development Corp.; new business development manager at BBDO and producer at MSNBC’s “Hardball With Chris Matthews.”

Brunswick CEO Neil Wolin said Cusick will help elevate the firm’s marketing efforts and bolster its “reputation as the preeminent critical advisory firm globally.”
