| Lori Russo, Emily Wenstrom |
Stanton Communications names agency president Lori Russo and vice president Emily Wenstrom to its board of directors. They also gain equity stakes in the firm. The move is part of a reconstituted ownership structure that includes key executives and moves away from sole ownership by agency founder Peter Stanton. Russo and Wenstrom will assume increased control of the future direction of the firm. The agency says the new structure will also enable others in the firm to secure equity as their tenure and rank in the agency expand. “My pride of ownership is instead now shared with others who have made huge contributions to the success of our company,” Stanton said.
