As CEO, Caitlin Dodge drives the vision and growth of Argus. In this role, she leads operations, directs client relationships, and maps out our strategy as an agency. An experienced and insightful marketing leader, Caitlin has helped shepherd complex clients through their most challenging communications issues and is depended on by marketing leaders in multiple sectors for her expertise in developing effective campaigns across mediums and audiences.

Caitlin began her career at Smithsonian Enterprises, the company that publishes Smithsonian Magazine, Air & Space Magazine, goSmithsonian Magazine, and runs the Smithsonian Television Channel.

Prior to joining Argus, Caitlin was the account lead for Williams Whittle, a non-profit focused marketing and ad agency in Alexandria, VA.

Past roles have brought Scott to the intersection of complex strategic communications, media, and public affairs as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications and Strategy for the Massachusetts Senate President; the Director of Communications and Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Department of Public Health (DPH); and leading external affairs for the Massachusetts Medical Use of Marijuana Program.

When he’s not thinking about client projects, Jose enjoys traveling with his wife and teenage son. He’s also a published novelist and an amusing storyteller – but make sure never to ask him about Borneo: he’ll never shut up about it.
