A strong team is the key ingredient in our ability to tell clients' stories in the most memorable, compelling way. Recently, Kevin Tente joined our team to help us continue reaching that goal. A skilled writer, Kevin is a 2014 Providence College grad who was recently a policy researcher in the R.I. General Treasurer's office. At PC he was a musician, a Division 1 athlete on the school's swim team and a research assistant at Brown University's School of Engineering. That research background is probably why Kevin has a knack for plucking out just the right nugget to drive home our clients' key messages.
We're glad to welcome Kevin aboard.

Gov. Gina Raimondo joined our client Rhode Island Housing and their executive director Barbara Fields to kick off a unique effort to keep bright young talent right here in Rhode Island. The program, called " Ocean Grad Grant" provides recent college graduates with up to $7,000 for a down payment on a new home. Not surprisingly, there was a lot of interest in the kick off and a lot of media coverage, as well.
