Van Eperen, an integrated communications agency specializing in public relations, marketing, social media, and digital strategy and advertising, announces the hiring of Brooke Whitson as digital strategist and project manager.

Whitson joins Van Eperen from a digital communications agency in South Carolina where she spent the past four years building the advocacy and brands divisions on a range of clients including SeaWorld, Marco Rubio for President and the American Chemistry Council.

“Brooke’s experience in the digital marketing world further enhances the expertise we bring to clients,” said CEO Laura Van Eperen. “She will be instrumental in developing our e-marketing strategies while spearheading efforts for our clients every day.”

Based at Van Eperen’s North Bethesda office, Whitson will manage one of the firm’s newest clients while also taking charge of Van Eperen’s own marketing through various social platforms.
