Vermont PR firm hires two new communications specialists

Recent University of Vermont graduates Rose Kaufmann and Josie Gingold have joined the Charlotte-based public relations firm Junapr as marketing and team coordinator, and communications coordinator, respectively. Both formerly served as Junapr interns.

In her new role as marketing and team coordinator, Kaufmann will take on a variety of projects, including developing social media marketing strategies, managing Junapr’s own external marketing efforts and overseeing internal communications. As part of the Junapr team working with clients at the University of Vermont, Runamok and Beech-Nut Nutrition, Gingold will focus on developing social media content, conducting competitor analysis and research, and providing client campaign reporting.

“I have long been a believer in working with interns and, when possible, hiring them upon graduation,” said company founder and CEO Nicole Junas Ravlin. “Josie and Rose are welcome additions to our team and have already helped advance our work on behalf of Junapr’s clients.”

In addition to the recent hires of Kaufmann and Gingold, Junapr recently promoted Nicole Bouffard to manager, and Anna Barbati to communications specialist.
