Synergize, the Carmel-based company building lifelong relationships between professionals, is proud to welcome Heather Hunter as the newest voice of Synergize and leader of its creative team.

“We absolutely needed Heather,” explained Synergize’s Chief Relationship Officer Arron Stanton. “Even though our brand is not even a year old, I really don’t know how we’ve made it without her.”

As the company’s first Marketing and Communications Coordinator, Hunter will be responsible for social media management, branding and design, and written communication from Synergize to the public.

“This is a really exciting spot for me to step into, not just as a young professional, but as someone who cares about serving a bigger purpose,” said Hunter, 22. “It’s a blessing to use my skills to foster real, human connections.”

Hunter graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in May 2020 with a degree in English and Creative Technology. She also earned a certificate from IU’s Liberal Arts and Management Program, an honors program meshing classes in the Kelley School of Business with liberal arts curriculum.

Previously, Hunter managed communications as an intern for the City of Lafayette and supported fundraising efforts as an intern for the Irish Cancer Society. In addition to her role at Synergize, she volunteers on the marketing board for United Way in Clinton County. “It’s been a great way to help support my hometown during the pandemic,” said Hunter, raised in Frankfort.

Synergize disrupts the conventional approach to networking, as the focus shifts away from elevator pitches and business cards, to lifelong relationships and world-changing impacts.

“At the end of the day, I have to look in the mirror and answer a question for myself,” Stanton added. “Did my life make the difference it could have? Or did it just check the box we’ve each been told to check?”
