LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Dunn-Edwards Corporation announced its next chapter of color leadership and marketing with the dynamic team of Scott Lambert, Manager of Color & Trends Marketing, and Lauren Hoferkamp, Senior Specialist of Color & Trends Marketing.

Lambert is an esteemed creative director and trend leader with decades of experience across creative agencies, brands, and industries – with color and design at the core.

After 13 years as an Architectural Sales Representative for the company, Hoferkamp brings an intricate background and understanding of Dunn-Edwards, the color market, and the multi-channel customer journey to the new Color Team.

"Scott's unique creative lens and experiential vision will infuse new energy into our color efforts, while Lauren knows Dunn-Edwards and our customers' color needs inside and out. This dream team will help us see color in a new light and push industry standards."
