We’re popping champagne corks here at InkHouse today. No, it’s not because we all (well, most of us) have our power back after the much-hyped Hurricane Irene, although cheers to that! The Boston Business Journal and Mass High Tech issued the 2011 Innovation All Stars list and we are thrilled to announce that InkHouse’s Francy Ronayne is one of the 15 Rising Stars in Business.
According to the BBJ/MHT, the Rising Stars are “building unique brands, bringing innovations to market, starting trends, giving back and are successful.”
Francy joined us just few months ago with an impressive background that spans work at some of the nation’s top television stations, overseeing communications for the State Treasury, and a broad range of mission-focused campaigns at the highly-respected Solomon McCown & Co.
From the moment we met her, we knew she had to work at InkHouse. Francy’s work ethic and poise are matched only by her positive attitude about what is possible. A natural multi-tasker (and over achiever), Francy has become the go-to person for her clients, and has brought a fresh perspective about our campaigns. And somehow she has also found the time to train for the Pan-Mass Challenge, which she just completed, all while planning her upcoming wedding.
Congratulations, Francy!
Since the early days working around her kitchen table, Beth has grown Inkhouse into one of the top independent PR agencies in the country. She’s been named a Top Woman in PR by PR News, a Top 25 Innovator by PRovoke, and an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist. Beth designed Inkhouse’s signature Storytelling Workshop to mirror the literary hero’s journey and to unearth the emotional connections that bind an audience to a brand or idea. She also uses narratives to build Inkhouse’s culture, most recently through two books of employee essays, “Hindsight 2020” and “Aren’t We Lucky?”
