NEW YORK – May 19, 2026 – Marino, a leading national strategic communications firm based in New York City with offices in Los Angeles and Miami, today announced the promotions of Tom Corsillo and Nicholas Derasmo to Executive Vice President. In his expanded role, Corsillo will focus on Public Affairs and agency-wide client strategy, while Derasmo will focus on the expansion of Marino’s Real Estate, Corporate, and Professional Services platform.

The appointments reflect Marino’s continued investment in senior leadership, operational excellence, and integrated client growth.

The promotions come at a time of sustained momentum across Marino’s core sectors, including Real Estate, Corporate and Professional Services, Consumer, Emerging Industries, Food and Beverage, and Nonprofit, and underscore the firm’s commitment to delivering insight-driven, fully integrated communications programs that produce measurable impact.

“These promotions reflect the strength of our foundation and where we are going as a firm,” said John F. Marino, President of Marino. “Tom and Nick are exceptional leaders who understand how to connect strategy, communications, and business outcomes. As we continue to scale, their expanded roles will help ensure we remain integrated, growth-focused, and positioned to deliver meaningful results for our clients.”

Corsillo, who joined Marino in 2005, has built his career at the firm and today serves as one of the region’s most trusted public affairs leaders. He has led high-profile rezonings, policy initiatives, and advocacy campaigns that have shaped communities and driven meaningful legislative outcomes. His work includes major land use efforts delivering thousands of new homes, as well as statewide policy campaigns that have influenced critical industry reform.

In his expanded role, Corsillo will continue to lead Marino’s public affairs practice while guiding issue advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and reputation programs across sectors. He will advise on complex, high-visibility initiatives; support integrated campaign development that connects policy, media, and community impact; and contribute to growth across public affairs-driven opportunities.

Derasmo brings a unique blend of agency, developer, and in-house experience, having previously led communications for the Tri-State region for Cushman & Wakefield, served as Director of US Media & Content for Skanska USA, and held the role of Director of Communications for RXR Realty before joining Marino. Since then, he has played a central role in shaping and scaling the firm’s Real Estate and Corporate practice into a market-leading platform.

In his elevated role, Derasmo will lead the continued expansion of Marino’s Real Estate and Corporate platform, with a focus on scaling client portfolios, deepening senior-level partnerships, and driving new business across priority sectors. He will oversee integrated programs that connect media, creative, paid, and intelligence capabilities, while also mentoring team leadership and strengthening the firm’s long-term growth strategy.

Real estate and public affairs have long been central to Marino’s history and success. The firm partners with developers, owners, operators, public entities, advocacy organizations, and corporate leaders to shape narratives, support transformative projects, and engage stakeholders through integrated communications strategies.
