The Lowe Group, a Milwaukee-based investment and corporate communications firm, announced the addition of former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel assistant managing editor Marilyn Krause as director.
Krause will focus on outreach strategy, project management, content development, and media relations on behalf of The Lowe Group’s clients.
“We are thrilled to add an accomplished professional like Marilyn to our team,” said Jody Lowe, president and managing director. “She brings years of journalism and management experience to our growing firm. She has also been a leader in the community as past president of the Milwaukee Press Club, past co-chair of the annual City of Milwaukee Birthday Party and a board member of Tempo Milwaukee, among other activities.”
Krause has spent the past 27 years with the Journal Sentinel. She began her career as a reporter and then editor on the paper’s local news desk, ultimately rising in the organization to senior level management with responsibilities for staff training and mentoring, strategic planning and operations, and budget management.
“I am excited to take this next step in my career,” said Krause. “The Lowe Group represents an opportunity for me to use my writing and journalism skills in a new way in an industry that truly interests me. I look forward to using my experience on behalf of The Lowe Group’s clients. “I’m grateful for my years with the paper, starting with the Milwaukee Journal, and will miss my many friends and colleagues.”
