“The Narrative team continues to expand with a commitment to provide our clients with top-level talent, strategic insight, and premium service,” said Narrative Strategies Founding Partner Ken Spain. “Jill’s understanding of integrated campaigns and the quickly evolving media landscape will add immediate value to our growing client roster.”
Karin Scott comes to Narrative with a background in corporate public affairs. She worked as a global public affairs intern at FedEx and a corporate communications intern for the Hospital Corporation of America. Scott graduated summa cum laude from the George Washington School of Media and Public Affairs, where she earned an Eckles Award for her research on the underrepresentation of female expert sources in political news stories.
Madeleine Burke joins Narrative Strategies with experience in both domestic and international affairs. Burke interned at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Berlin, the Rizzo Dukes Group, and the Personal Care Products Council. She graduated with honors from the University of Richmond, where her thesis on social media’s influence in the 2016 Brexit vote was nominated for two departmental awards.
