The Castle Group

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We’re officially signing off to unplug, recharge, and soak up time with family and friends. Whether it’s holiday movie marathons, way too many cookies, or just some much-needed rest, we’re leaning into the season and hope you are too! Thank you for making 2024 a year to remember. We can’t wait to hit the ground running in 2025 with fresh energy and big ideas. Until then—cheers to joy, connection, and all the moments that make the season bright. See you in the New Year! ✨

We're celebrating a big win! 🎉   Castle has received the Center for Women & Enterprise's (CWE) 2024 Community Partner of the Year award! 🏆 This recognizes our strong continued partnership and the impact we've made together in supporting the growth and expansion of CWE and the future of women entrepreneurs.   Over the years, our collaboration has grown immensely through increased engagement and meaningful thought partnership. We are grateful for the opportunity to support this important mission. Thank you, CWE, for this recognition — here’s to many more years of growth and success together! 🧡

In December, the Prudential Tower’s 31 Nights of Light shines bright for local organizations making a difference—and what better way to light up the night than in celebration of a true Boston legend!   Last week, our incredible client Boston Children's Chorus illuminated the tower in red, orange, and gold to honor their founder, Hubie Jones, on his 91st birthday. A trailblazing civil rights leader, Hubie has left an undeniable mark on Boston’s civic and social fabric.   Cheers to Hubie’s extraordinary legacy and a life dedicated to building a brighter, more equitable future.

Quick brag about our awesome Senior Account Executive, Nate Hillyer! Nate joined his alma mater, Emmanuel College (Boston)'s Communications & Media Studies senior capstone class for a career panel with his former professor, Caitlin Lawson, and fellow panelists Emma Leisentritt, Taylor Fruzzetti, and Kevin Lux Ven.   Sharing his experience across landing internships, breaking into PR and communications, and building a strong writing portfolio, Nate also gave students a preview of his impactful work across hunger, housing, healthcare and consumer PR.   Way to inspire the next generation of communicators, Nate!

When our team gets together, we don’t just celebrate—we create the unforgettable. Our annual holiday party was a night full of bold ideas, big laughs, and the kind of energy that's so contagious even the staff at Mystique wanted to join the fun. From rekindling connections across offices to "The Thing"—this year’s mission: turning a moon and space lamp into something extraordinary—we proved (yet again) that creativity is at the heart of everything we do. Spoiler: the results were nothing short of spectacular. Great food, great company, and even better memories—the night had it all. We couldn't ask for a better team to enjoy it with!

I definitely love seeing The Castle Group and “elite” in the same sentence! Once again, The Castle Group has been named to PRNEWS annual Agency Elite list! 🎉🎉🎉 They say you’re known by the company you keep, so… Kudos, gratitude and pride all jumbled together and fully directed at our team and clients, a pretty magical combination.

This national recognition from our industry’s “bible,” among peers, for both our business and our impact, is a pretty sweet holiday gift this season. Here we are raising a glass at our annual holiday party! (more to come on that!)

Partnering with organizations that create lasting community impact is the best part of what we do. That’s why we’re excited to see IBA - Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción reach new milestones as they work to bring La CASA to life. La CASA: The Center for Arts, Self-Determination, and Activism in Boston’s South End, recently received a $1M matching gift from Barbara and Amos Hostetter—a significant milestone toward building a vibrant hub for Latino arts, culture, and empowerment. This 26,000-square-foot center, set to open in 2026, will celebrate community, creativity, and opportunity while empowering residents through access to wrap-around community programming. Thank you to Lindsay Shachnow and Boston.com for highlighting this incredible story! Read all about it: https://lnkd.in/eHAbGp2P
