Marcus Weisgerber, a veteran defense and national security reporter, has joined Invariant’s strategic communications & PA unit.
He will counsel defense, technology, AI and business clients in areas such as media strategy, storytelling and reputation management.
Weisgerber joins the DC shop after a ten-year stint at Defense One, where as business editor he also wrote the Defense Business Brief weekly newsletter on trends, procurement and Q&As with military brass.
Earlier, Weisgerber was senior Pentagon correspondent at Defense News and an editor at Inside Defense.
Matt Gallagher, who heads Invariant’s stratcom & PA practice, said Weisgerber is a seasoned journalist with a deep understanding of the decision-making process at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill.
