Lagniappe: Bond Takes on the Windy City

This July, we bid farewell to Ally Hodapp, Account Supervisor, as she finished out her final days of working in Bond’s New Orleans offices. While Ally is leaving New Orleans to return to her hometown of Chicago, she’s bringing her phenomenal work and a part of Bond to the Windy City with her!

A member of our team since 2014, this September will mark Ally’s six-year anniversary with Bond. In that time, Ally has worked with a diverse group of clients in industries ranging from food and beverage to the arts. Her work has included PR, marketing, and branding/creative initiatives for clients such as Bacardi, Hard Rock Cafe, Blaze Pizza (Louisiana and Texas), Prospect 4, The Helis Foundation, Leblanc + Smith, and the United States Tennis Association (USTA). Ally has been part of account teams that have won numerous awards, including the prestigious Silver Anvil from Public Relations Society of America.

Originally from Chicago, Ally graduated from Loyola University New Orleans in 2013 with a B.A. in Mass Communication with a concentration in Public Relations. She serves on the Young Alumni Pack (YAP) board at Loyola University of New Orleans. Prior to joining Bond, she completed internships with Tales of the Cocktail, assisting with public relations efforts and event logistics, and with Kaleidoscope, an integrated design agency in Chicago, for which she assisted in developing content for social media channels.

While we say goodbye to Ally as she and her dog Archie start their new journey, we’re thrilled to have her continue her award-winning marketing efforts as we build our Chicago office even further. We’re excited to see what the future holds, both for Ally and for Bond, as we write this new chapter together.

Congratulations, Ally!
