Cameron joins the Hooker Furnishings marketing leadership team alongside Kenzi Reddick, vice president – marketing creative, interior design, and events. Reddick, who joined the company in March of 2023, will continue with her responsibilities of establishing the creative vision for the company across a broad spectrum of creative initiatives as well as playing a pivotal role in growing the company’s interior design channel. She will also take on additional responsibilities in leading the company’s event and hospitality initiatives.

I am beyond excited to get started, and I see great potential ahead for the company.”
“Having Cameron and Kenzi working together with me as marketing leaders, supported by the remarkably talented group of marketing professionals that make up our marketing team, will provide us with the talent, bandwidth and organizational structure we need to truly help drive the growth of our company, now and for years to come,” said Albanese.
