NEW YORK– July 24, 2017 – Marino – a New York City-based strategic communications firm – today announced that Elizabeth “Liz” Latino has been promoted to Vice President.

Latino, who joined the firm in 2009 as an Assistant Account Executive, most recently served as Account Director, where she provided counsel and strategic planning across various real estate and consumer and lifestyle accounts. During her tenure at the agency, Latino has been instrumental in developing and expanding the firm and its capabilities.

“Over the last eight years, Liz has played an enormous role in the growth and success of the agency,” said John F. Marino, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director at Marino. “Her incredible work ethic has enabled her to elevate our clients and their brands.”

By drawing on her large network of media relations connections, Latino has garnered media placements across print, television, radio and digital platforms in top-tier publications and programs such as The New York Times, Good Morning America, The Wall Street Journal, SHAPE Magazine, Ad Age, Food Network, Eater, Fast Company, the New York Daily News, and the New York Post.

In her new role, she will further expand her work with the agency’s real estate and consumer/lifestyle practices, as well as continue to enhance Marino’s staff development.

Latino, 30, received her Bachelor’s in Communications from Loyola University in Maryland. A Westchester native, she lives in New Jersey with her husband, Anthony, their newborn son, Hudson, and their rescue pup, Paisley.

Founded in 1993, Marino has successfully represented a wide array of clients such as McDonald’s, Walmart, The Home Depot, Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation, Crain’s New York Business and the iconic One World Trade Center as well as a host of some of New York City’s most widely respected real estate companies, trade associations and not-for-profits.
