Brodeur Partners Hires Collins Dunn as EVP for AI and Data Work
Brodeur Partners, an integrated communications agency, appointed Collins Dunn as Executive Vice President of AI & Data Transformation on March 24th. The role is newly created and reflects growing demand from clients for data-driven communications strategy.
Dunn will oversee the integration of proprietary data, AI workflows, and advanced analytics into Brodeur's core service offerings. The hire comes after the agency's Relevance AI Visibility service gained traction with clients last year.
What Brodeur is building
The agency is centering AI and data in its communications work in three specific ways:
- Using AI for both internal efficiency and client insights
- Providing clients access to proprietary research and competitive data
- Giving clients tools to work within Brodeur's Relevance ecosystem more effectively
Andrea Coville, CEO of Brodeur Partners, said the shift reflects how PR now connects content across channels and influences corporate AI strategy. "We will do what we've always done - build brand relevance - with more intelligence, speed, and impact," she said.
Dunn's background
Dunn spent his early career at StreetAccount, a real-time financial news service, where he wrote content and contributed to proprietary data collection. He then moved to FactSet, where he led the news and document product suite and co-created their Signals product.
Most recently, he was Senior Vice President of AI Search & Insights at FactSet, where he launched the firm's first client-facing AI products.
Dunn said his focus at Brodeur differs from how many firms use AI. "Most firms treat AI as a productivity tool for writing; we are treating it as a strategic engine for intelligence to drive brand relevance," he said.
