Diane Hartley

Born

…and raised in Michigan, though the charms of the Midwest were lost on me and I ran for the East Coast the first chance I could.

Education

B.A. Political Science plus my first communications campaign, the gubernatorial race in New Jersey. It took six weeks of recounting to declare a winner. That was quite an education.

Employment History

Political campaign communications and then public affairs at the Departments of the Interior and State, including the G-7 “Summit of Industrialized Nations.”

Some years later, with the pace of political campaigns too consuming and government agencies too lagging, I found the demands of the corporate world just right and parlayed communications strategy experience into brand management, working with a number of boutique ad agencies in the real world.

A niche focus in professional service marketing followed. I’ve spent the last dozen years developing and managing brand strategies for law firms across the United States.

When I'm Not Working, I Particularly Enjoy

Designing, building or renovating homes, pools and gardens. There is no such thing as “done.”
