SF Mayor New Media Advisor Follows Comm. Director To Burson Marsteller

Brian Purchia has left his post as Deputy Communications Director and Tech Advisor for San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to join Burson Marsteller’s digital arm, Proof Integrated Communications.

Newsom’s former communications director, Nathan Ballard, joined Burson to run their San Francisco office just a few weeks ago.

In addition, Michael Beno has also joined Proof as a director.
