Former Weber Shandwick Executive Nick Puleo Launches COMSINT, a National PR and Marketing Advisory

COMSINT is a national network of former PR and marketing agency alumni who work with major corporations and universities as they confront today’s biggest media and public perception challenges.

COMSINT, a public relations and marketing advisory focused on helping corporations confront the biggest challenges in today’s media and public perception landscape, was launched today by Nick Puleo, a former Weber Shandwick Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications and Issues Management.

COMSINT is built on a national network of senior advisors, each with extensive experience across of range of disciplines including, corporate communications, digital marketing, crisis and issues management, and content and video production.

“COMSINT brings the expertise of a global firm paired with the service and transparency of a boutique agency,” Puleo said. “Our team intentionally parted ways with big agencies to be closer to our craft and more deeply embedded with our clients as they tackle their most pressing challenges. We heard over and over from clients, who were under serviced and overcharged; we knew there was a better way.”

COMSINT assembles powerful, highly collaborative, and bespoke teams for each of its clients – senior leaders in public relations, external communications, public affairs and digital media – with experience working in our client’s industries. The firm was founded on the simple promise of providing seasoned, top-tier talent possessing the same passion for business as our clients themselves. 

“Our goal is to eliminate overhead, while increasing access to senior talent,” added Puleo. “This asset-light model lets us focus intently on the needs of our clients. With our national network of advisors, we are able to scale our teams vertically and horizontally with ease to provide the services our clients need when they need them.”
