Elie Jacobs, who joined Purposeful Communications as a partner in May 2021, will be a founding partner of Purposeful Advisors. The new name is a response to a “shift in the role of the communications professional from technician to coach and advisor,” said De Maria. “This is especially true for start-up, scale-up and mid-sized companies that require advisors with real world experience who understand the challenges young companies face. Through that lens, we remain focused on providing solid strategic communications and public affairs support to founders, entrepreneurs, and senior leaders.”
