If it was published on the LAVIDGE website between late 2017 and September 2024, chances are it was written by or ghostwritten by then-Senior Content Developer/Writer RuthAnn Hogue. Numerous unsigned press releases chronicle agency employee satisfaction accolades; creative awards, thought leadership, and philanthropy recognition under NEWS & PRESS. The exceptions are the food services and retail services industries reports and related content which were completed in 2017 shortly before RuthAnn joined the agency. The same time-frame and subject-matter apply to content published under ARTICLES & INSIGHTS.
In addition, RuthAnn reported and wrote everything published under the LAVIDGE IMPACT mini site featuring the agency's employee volunteer program from its inception in 2019 through the amicable end of her employment with LAVIDGE in August 2024 that she published this on her final day. (There is one additional release published in early September that she prescheduled to publish before leaving the agency.)
Extensive experience with long-form writing and information-gathering as a journalist initially earned RuthAnn her role at the Phoenix-based advertising agency where she worked for that past seven years. The assignment centered on taking commissioned third-party data and turning it into relatable industry marketing reports affectionately referred to internally as "orange papers." This included doing additional primary research and blending it together for a particular audience. In addition, RuthAnn met with subject matter experts (SMEs) as needed throughout the process.
