R&J is pleased to announce the promotion of Nick LaPlaca to Senior Account Executive. In his new position, Nick will develop and execute effective strategies designed to meet and exceed the needs of R&J’s growing real estate and financial services client base, while leading day-to-day account team activities for his clients.

Since joining the agency in October 2012 as an Account Coordinator, Nick has delivered great value to both his team and his clients. As a result, he has steadily advanced through the agency ranks, assuming positions of greater responsibility, most recently holding the position of Account Executive.

“Over the past year, Nick has clearly emerged as a trusted account leader and consultant to his clients and his team members here at R&J,” said Scott Marioni, Executive Vice President of R&J Strategic Communications. “His hard work has also been instrumental in helping us to expand our real estate practice. Nick’s promotion to Senior Account Executive is well-deserved.”

Nick is a member of the agency’s B2B and real estate team, which focuses on growing revenue through increased industry and media recognition, digital presence and credibility for clients that are not marketing directly to consumers.

A Hillsborough, N.J. resident, Nick graduated from Kean University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies.
