We’re thrilled by this response and grateful to the MARCOM judges for their careful consideration of our office’s work,” said Jennifer Hunold, General Manager of The Martin Group’s Albany office. “Our Albany team has grown 400% since 2018, and it’s exciting to think about where we can go from here.”
