Before founding South & Hill Strategies, Ms. Guyton served as Communications Director to Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito.

In 2014, she spearheaded communications for Scott Brown’s New Hampshire Senate campaign. In 2012, Ms. Guyton oversaw communications to flip the seat in a razor-thin Congressional campaign victory for Rep. Jackie Walorski from Northern Indiana. Ms. Guyton first stepped on to the political scene working for Senator Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire.
