"This merger is about much more than expanding services," said Turnstone Co-Founder Ashley Russo. "By bringing our teams together, we are strengthening our ability to guide clients through change with confidence, care, and consistency."

Russo, founder of ASR Media, serves as Turnstone's Chief Community and Culture Officer. Tina Hasselbusch, founder of Social T Marketing & PR, serves as Chief Executive Officer. Additional members of the leadership team include President Katie Santana, Vice President of Operations Rachel Moyer, Vice President of Client Experience Stephanie Mettler, and Vice President of Post-Production Abby Mutschler.

The merger represents a natural evolution of the companies' relationship. In 2012, Russo, Hasselbusch, and Santana collaborated closely to launch ASR Media. In 2017, after identifying a growing need for strategic marketing and public relations services in the Lehigh Valley, Hasselbusch launched Social T Marketing & PR while continuing to work in close partnership with ASR Media. Over time, the firms developed shared systems, aligned standards, and a unified approach to client service.
