LUTZ, Fla. (April 10, 2026) – Vistra is pleased to announce that Stephanie Andre has joined the firm as Director of Communications, adding senior-level leadership and deep experience in strategic communications, media relations and client advisory to the agency.
Andre has spent more than 20 years leading integrated communications and marketing efforts for corporate, nonprofit, legal, and government organizations. In her role at Vistra, she will lead communications strategy across a wide range of clients, oversee media relations and reputation management, and help shape clear, consistent messaging that supports broader marketing and digital work.
She will also be deeply involved in supporting client growth, working side by side with internal teams to identify new opportunities, support proposal development, and deliver solutions that are polished, coordinated and grounded in real client needs.

In addition to her client work, Andre will lead and mentor members of Vistra’s communications team. She will also represent Vistra at industry events and work with leadership to strengthen partnerships and expand the agency’s reach.
“Vistra does work that really matters, often for clients facing big moments of change,” Andre said. “I’m excited to be part of a team that values strong strategy, good judgment and collaboration, and I’m looking forward to contributing in a way that makes a difference.”
