CCAH is one of the most renowned, award-winning full service direct marketing firms in the nation, addressing the needs of both non-profit and for-profit clients.
No matter the ruling, we stand with those whoose right to make decisions about their bodies, their childbearing, and their economic well-being has been stripped away today.
“Katie Chamber’s positive attitude is actually infectious” according to Kim Cubine, and her colleagues all agree. The tireless work ethic and upbeat attitude that she brings to her daily routine have made her an indispensable member of the CCAH family.
On top of her role as an Account Executive working with clients, she is also a member of the company’s Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Committee, a writer for the company blog, and a resource for five other CCAH employees through the company mentorship program. How on Earth did one person wind up with so much on their plate?
“I have a hard time saying no to things,” she says with a laugh. And while her sense of duty might belie an even greater desire for change, Katie’s work – both inside and outside the office – has made her the natural leader that we at CCAH are fortunate enough to work alongside.
When she’s not helping her clients to reach their organizational goals, Katie is an ardent supporter of causes outside of CCAH. She has served as a coach for Girls on the Run, an after-school program that helps reinforce the connection between emotional and physical health for young women. She also volunteers, organizes with, and raises funds for Be the Match, an organization that connects patients diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood diseases with life-saving bone marrow and stem cell donors.
Most recently she’s found herself pounding the pavement with members of her community, demanding change to the systems of American policing. Her civic engagement is not so much a newfound passion as it is an extension of her upbringing. “When I was in middle school, my parents would reward me for good grades with trips to D.C., and we’d go to a Smithsonian … or I’d hang outside the Newseum waiting for politicians to sign autographs after they filmed This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”
Katie’s political passions continued through college and into her first job after graduation, where she worked as a field organizer for a Senate campaign. After that campaign cycle ended, she wasn’t entirely sure where she would end up, until she connected with a family friend who knew of an opening at CCAH. Katie applied “despite not really knowing anything about the industry,” and when she was called in for an interview, began studying up on the ins-and-outs of direct marketing.
It’s no surprise that during this year’s annual company awards ceremony, Katie was the recipient of the CCAH Spirit Award, which is given to an employee who exemplifies the passion for change that we work for each day. Her positive outlook and boundless enthusiasm are contagious, and it’s because of Katie, and colleagues like her, that CCAH can deliver for our clients.
Katie’s work at CCAH encompasses so much more than just her daily client interactions and management of their various campaigns. Her work on the company blog helps to keep CCAH visible within the direct marketing industry, a crucial task in the current age with so many business interactions moving from in-person to online.
Similarly, her work on the DEI committee helps to ensure that all of her CCAH colleagues stay visible within the structure of the company. When CCAH announced the inception of the DEI Committee, Katie saw it as a natural fit. She had, before the committee existed, been working with her supervisors and management to address what areas CCAH might better serve our growing roster of employees. “CCAH is a great place to work for me, and I just want to make sure that’s true for everyone here.”
Each year, the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) selects some of the best in our nation’s political business community to honor on their 40 Under 40 list, recognizing their leadership and innovation. This year CCAH is fortunate enough to have one of our own on that list – Ms. Chrissy Hyre.
Chrissy was nominated for the award by a fellow CCAH employee, Catherine Algieri. Chrissy and Catherine have been working together since 2018, when Chrissy was Catherine’s consultant for her work at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Catherine has since joined the CCAH team to head our new political digital program and, in her words, “realized I didn’t know the half of what Chrissy brings to the table.”
Chrissy’s work to expand the use of telemarketing programs in progressive political campaigns has helped her to make millions of voter contacts for candidates like Andrew Gillum for Governor and Kamala Harris for President, as well as for politically motivated organizations like Collective PAC and Citizen Action. She paved the way for peer-to-peer mobile platforms like Hustle and Get Thru to work with telemarketing firms and utilize live operators that would allow organizations and candidates to dramatically scale up their engagement efforts over SMS.
Chrissy wasn’t always planning on innovating the world of political fundraising; in college, she initially registered as a musical theatre major. The common thread between her aspirations as a thespian and her work now as a consultant? Vulnerability. According to Chrissy: “We ask our clients to put an incredible amount of trust in us … so we need to show up in a really authentic way to build those relationships.”
In that spirit, Chrissy’s work in the industry of political consulting has been nothing short of visionary. As an inventive team player, Chrissy has earned accolades from her clients, business contacts, and here at CCAH, where she was made a partner in March of this year. We are so glad that the AAPC has recognized her hard work by adding her to their 40 Under 40 list, and we look forward to honoring her future accomplishments. Congratulations, Chrissy!
This Women’s History Month, we want to take a moment to celebrate some truly outstanding women making history here at CCAH.
When it comes to the question of whom I surround myself with, people often tout the benefits of surrounding yourself with those who are smarter than you, and while I think that is one key ingredient to success … I think it is more important, as the President of this company, that I am not only surrounded by smart people, but that I’m surrounded by individuals that share our collective vision for this company — a vision of where we want to go and what we want to accomplish this next decade.
It’s critical that I surround myself with individuals that not only share our company’s vision, but those individuals who have been instrumental in getting us to where we are today — and in the continued success of this company.
For many years, I have had the pleasure of working with the best there is. Individuals that I consider trusted confidants, valuable sounding boards, innovative leaders, and — very importantly — friends.
So, it is my sincere honor to announce that we have four new Principals at CCAH! Join me in congratulating the incredible women who have truly dedicated themselves to making a difference:
Chrissy Hyre, Susie DeCarlo, Brenna Holmes, and Lynn Waller.
Check out their bios on our Who We Are page to learn a bit more about each of these impressive ladies!
At CCAH, we know that progress is what keeps us relevant and keeps us moving toward our mission — advancing change and committing to activism that makes a difference. That’s why each quarter we like to recognize one our newest employees who is helping move us toward our goals and continuing our push for progress. Our Rookie of the Quarter award is given to an employee who has started their CCAH journey in the past year and has shown their willingness to go above and beyond. They are nominated by the CCAH management committee (our partners, VPs, and president, Kim Cubine), and they exemplify CCAH’s commitment to progress.
This quarter, we are recognizing Margaret Randall.
Margaret joined Chapman Cubine + Hussey as a senior designer with five years’ experience specifically in direct mail fundraising for non-profits. Graduating from the University of Connecticut with a Communications Design degree, Margaret found her “nitch” when she landed a job as an art director and designer for an agency in South Florida. Some of her job responsibilities included creating concepts and campaign materials for a broad variety of clients including The Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity and Grand Canyon Conservancy. Since coming to the CCAH, she works as both a print and lead digital designer and enjoys expanding her knowledge and bringing motion graphics to her digital work. To balance work and life, Margaret enjoys running, being active with beach activities, and of course spending time with friends, family and her doggies.
We are proud to have Margaret as part of our CCAH family and cannot wait to see what comes next. Congratulations on being our Rookie of the Quarter!

Courtney graduated from Old Dominion University in May 2018 with a digital marketing degree from the Strome College of Business. She previously worked within the IT industry, including work at a startup digital agency. Since coming to CCAH as a Digital Account Representative II, she has been able to help her clients, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, drive strategic online fundraising initiatives. You can find her throughout the day busy building out Facebook Ads, project managing, data reporting, and taking initiative through planning our internal events! Outside of work, Courtney enjoys spending time with her family and being involved within her community, including serving as the keynote leadership speaker for the 2019 Prince William County Public Schools Student Leadership Conference.
We are proud to have Courtney as part of our CCAH family and cannot wait to see what comes next. Congratulations on being our Rookie of the Quarter!

This quarter, we are recognizing Kyra Rogan.
Kyra is a true rookie, graduating from the Pennsylvania State University in just May of 2018 with a degree in Advertising. She brought these skills along with experience in the public relations sector to her position as an Account Representative at Chapman Cubine + Hussey, where she works on multiple clients, including AARP’s Advocacy efforts, the Democratic Governors Association, and Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation. In addition to keeping her team on track and accountable, she spearheads creative planning for her clients, developing creative concepts and overseeing their execution. She is an integral member of her team and a key communicator. Most tellingly, Kyra has fully embraced the multichannel mindset that is a cornerstone of the CCAH mission—even going so far as to keep track of her clients’ campaigns across platforms in her free time, becoming invested in the important missions they serve. Kyra also enjoys spending time with family and friends, as well as exploring all that the DC area has to offer, mainly through hiking and attending concert series in the city.
We are proud to have Kyra as part of our CCAH family and cannot wait to see what comes next. Congratulations on being our Rookie of the Quarter!
