Former White House Speechwriter Eric Schnure Joins Dewey Square Group as Principal in the Communications Practice
WASHINGTON, DC - Top political speechwriter Eric Schnure will join the company as a Principal in its Communications Practice, the company announced today. Widely known for his strategic sense in both political and corporate communications, as well as his witty scripts for some of the last decade's classic Washington roasts, Schnure begins work at the prominent public affairs firm on Wednesday, January 13, 2010.
"Through his years of work as an innovative speechwriter and communications strategist, Eric Schnure brings a wholly unique skill set and background to our team and clients," said DSG Chairman Chuck Campion. "In the new year, Eric's long-time communications experience will result in continued successes with our current clients as well as bring about greater prospects for new business."
Schnure's communications experience spans more than fifteen years in the political and corporate arenas. A graduate of Hobart College and the London School of Economics, Schnure began his career as a Speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore in 1993. He continued in the communications field as a consultant to top elected officials, Fortune 100 corporations and nationally recognized non-for-profits. The humor writing he has provided politicians and celebrities at the highest levels led a Washington publication to call him one of the "most sought-after political humor writers."
Schnure also teaches speechwriting as an adjunct professor at American University. He lives outside of Washington with his wife, Nancy, and sons, Benjamin and Daniel.
"As a former colleague and long-time friend of Eric's, I am thrilled to work with him again in this capacity," said Ginny Terzano, who leads the communications practice at DSG. "His expertise, creativity and wit will certainly make a positive addition to our practice and enhance our ability to service a wide variety of clients."
"It's an honor to join the Dewey Square team," said Schnure. "I am excited to get started combining my background and expertise in communications strategy in ways that will help strengthen and distinguish the voices of Dewey Square clients. I look forward to finding new ways to promote their goals and finding new opportunities to advance them. "
