Agency founder Allen Guilmette comments, “Our mantra at Alden has always been “Putting a Face on the Facts” and with the rapidly changing environment of marketing communications, we believe our new name, website and expanded services better communicate our suite of client services. The engine that drives our success has always been Florentino Fangon and Jennifer McKinley, two highly regarded and talented professionals who will play an increasingly important role in our future as newly named principals of the firm. Eric Tulin’s diversity of experience and skills in social media, strategic planning and corporate communications will support AldenMC to better fulfill the current and future marketing communication demands of our clients.”
