Zone 5 staffer celebrates 15 years with company

Zone 5, one of the region’s fastest growing public relations and marketing firms is proud to announce that Chief Technology Officer, Dennis Hudson, is celebrating his 15th year with the company. Dennis was hired as the third employee of Zone 5 in the fall of 1993 as a Darkroom Technician. In his 15 years with the company, he has risen through the ranks and is credited with keeping the firm on the cutting edge of technology.

Dennis has been responsible for keeping Zone 5 not only current but ahead of industry trends beginning with the transformation from analog (darkroom) to digital press technologies, as well as the installation of state-of-the-art Scitex scanners and imagesetters and large format digital printing equipment in the company's early years. Over his tenure with the company, he has maintained a cutting edge Apple computer network and a Cisco Voice Over IP phone system. Since Zone 5’s move to downtown Albany in late 2007, Dennis has put into effect integrated job tracking, general ledger and scheduling software, expanded Zone 5’s communication network with the addition of Blackberry devices, Apple iPhones and cellular internet access, and most recently configured the company’s focus group facility’s multimedia operations, including digital audio and video hookups, projection equipment and multiple monitor stations.

“Dennis has been a fixture with Zone 5 from the beginning,” said Todd Mosher, CEO and President of Zone 5. “He has grown with the organization and has been a major factor in our success.”
