NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. (March 29, 2012) – The Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. (HVEDC) has welcomed a leading digital media professional to its board of directors.

Jeremy N. Ellenbogen, who is the president and CEO of the Ellenbogen Group, is an expert in the digital and media broadcast fields. He has over 18 years of experience in content strategy, creation and deployment, and he has built a client base that includes regional, national and international organizations across many different industries. The Ellenbogen Group is the fastest-growing digital media production company in the Hudson Valley, led by its team’s expertise in communicating key messages in any digital space.

In addition, the Ellenbogen Group has joined both the Hudson Valley Food & Beverage Alliance and NY BioHud Valley, as a founding member for each.

“I’m honored to be on the board of a great organization like HVEDC, and I look forward to bringing my years of digital media experience to the table and helping companies here in the Hudson Valley grow,” Ellenbogen said. “Through our participation with NY BioHud Valley and the Food & Beverage Alliance, we have already begun working with companies who are using our services, as we can offer high production value and a lower-cost alternative to working with a New York City company. The HVEDC is a valuable asset to the Hudson Valley.”

The Food & Beverage Alliance focuses on helping food and beverage companies in the region work together as strong partners and market their products all over the United States. Launched by the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp.

NY BioHud Valley acts as a partner to county, state and federal governments in fostering an environment that allows businesses in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries to expand, while also attracting new companies to the Hudson Valley. It engages in pro-business advocacy designed to reduce legislative burdens, promotes collaboration between businesses and educational institutions and assists companies with access to venture capital.
