G&S Business Communications has promoted longtime staffer Beth Crisafi to the role of vice president.
Crisafi joined the independent business communications firm in 2005 as managing supervisor. Two years ago, she was appointed to the role of account director.
As VP, Crisafi assumes additional client management and communications strategy development responsibilities, and will lead an agency-wide team spanning content development, earned media, digital/social media and creative services targeting clients in sectors ranging from water purification, coatings and energy to personal care and sports. She’ll be based in the firm’s New York headquarters.
G&S — formerly known as Gibbs & Soell — maintains additional offices in Chicago, Raleigh, N.C. and Basel, Switzerland. The agency, which is one of the top PR firms in the U.S. with more than $24.2 million in net fees last year, counts Dow Chemical, Martin Marietta and Panasonic as clients.
