We’re excited to welcome Gabrielle Dufrene, brand engagement manager, to the Hart team! Gabrielle joins us in D.C., growing our presence in a city that is central to so much of what we do.

As a proud LSU alum, you’ll find Gabrielle cheering on every LSU sports team, but she’s made room in her heart for the Washington Capitals and Nationals since making D.C. home. When she isn’t watching sports, you can find her working through her reading list (she’s on track to hit 50 books in 2026) or talking Star Wars with anyone who will listen.

Welcome to Hart, Gabrielle!

Here’s what Hart VP, Creative Director Dan Marvin had to say about his favorite line from Brand Mover.

"I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment from Marc Paulenich. Like he says in his book, there’s so much work out there. We have to give people a reason to care."

That question — what gives people a reason to care? — is at the heart of Brand Mover.

Congrats are in order for Kate Wente, associate director of Operations, who started her journey at Hart 15 years ago today! Over the past decade and a half, she has been a steady force behind the scenes, moving the agency forward and doing it with style. 😎

The impact Kate has made across the agency is something we don’t take for granted. Kate, we’re so lucky to have you on our team! 🫶

Last week, we headed to AW Equine Collective for a day of fun with our client BUCKEYE Nutrition. We toured the barn, met the horses, learned about the unique nutrition decisions for each one and even had the chance to ride them.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this a day to remember, including our partner Waterford Bank, N.A. It's a small world – one of our contacts at Waterford actually owns the stable that hosted us. Partners and clients like these remind us why we love this work. ☺️

On October 27, our CEO Marc Paulenich will release a new book called Brand Mover: How to Lead Audiences from Apathy to Advocacy.

In a world full of noise, Marc makes the case for something simple but powerful: connection over content, experience over message, feeling over seeing. Brand Mover is filled with real-world examples that make the case for moving people from a state of indifference to a state of actively advocating for your brand.
