"Nancy Marshall and I have worked
together for more than 20 years, first at Sugarloaf/USA and
then with her own agency. She is a doer, she is passionate,
she is a networker, and she can be either tactical or strategic.
When I returned to the ski business here at Saddleback over
a year ago, I had to build credibility fast in the marketplace,
and the first person I turned to was Nancy and her great team
at NMC. Her performance put us on the map through a well-orchestrated
PR campaign and more recently has helped us build and maintain
an effective and customer-oriented web presence. She has become
a key part of our marketing team. She gets it done in the marketplace
and is hands-on here at our resort, getting to know our guests
and paving the way for journalists and other key players in
the industry."

"The Maine Children’s Home has
quietly gone about the good work that we do for the past 111
years. Recently, our Board and staff decided through a strategic
planning process that we needed to develop a marketing plan
to promote the work we do state wide. We contacted several marketing
consultants and ultimately decided to work with Nancy Marshall
Communications. What a great decision that was! Even before
the decision was made, Nancy was offering suggestions that could
easily be implemented. Once the process of developing the Marshall
Plan and our new website began, we had the good fortune of
meeting the amazing team that works with Nancy. They are personable,
intelligent and so competent in their areas of expertise. They
also exude enthusiasm which kept our board and staff energized
throughout the process. The first service they provided following
the development of the Marketing plan was the development of
a targeted press release. It was a miracle how quickly their
connections worked for us! Within less than 24 hours, it generated
two TV interviews, radio interviews and eight newspaper articles.
I can’t speak highly enough about this marketing team. I wish
we had made the decision to work with them sooner."

"The Madison Business Park committee
has been extremely fortunate to have Marshall Communications
as our marketing and public relations partner. This
partnership goes back several years to a time when Madison Business
Gateway (MBG) had just been built. The relationship accomplished
a multitude of tasks, such as developing a strategic marketing
plan to promote the business park through a variety of channels,
and then systematically implementing the plan while also taking
advantage of unique opportunities. The agency has played
an integral part in all of the many successes achieved these
past few years. The MBG Committee enjoyed the working
relationship that you and your talented staff provided to us."

Town Manager & Chairman of MBG

"I came to Nancy Marshall Communications
because I had a problem. I had a vision for my fledgling enterprise
but no real plan for how to achieve it. Within a matter of weeks
of meeting with Nancy and Jennifer Boes that problem was solved
with a "Marshall Plan." They thoroughly researched my
industry, pinpointed my competition, identified invaluable industry
contacts, crystallized my vision and developed a detailed, five
year, step-by-step plan to help me reach my goal. They
helped me rename the company, develop a new logo and identity,
and establish the company's brand personality. Although my "Marshall
Plan" was designed so I could implement it myself, I
was so impressed with the professionalism and capabilities of
the staff at NMC that I chose to have them take care of implementation
as well. My only regret is that I didn't call them
sooner!"

"In all my years of writing over
12 cookbooks, I've never worked with a PR person like Nancy
-- talented, energetic, positive, creative, enthusiastic
(but realistic and sensitive about knowing when to go slow),
fun, and nice! I had many compliments along the way
about the professionalism of the office, too. It's been wonderful
to have established this relationship with Nancy Marshall Communications."

"Since Nancy worked for me at Sugarloaf
in the early years of her PR career, she has been enthusiastic
about networking with media people. She has always formed great
relationships with the media, and has been thorough
and timely in her follow-through. That's the key to
success in PR. There's no doubt that her agency has
an edge when it comes to great media contacts."

"Nancy has a unique ability
to create Public Relations initiatives that are both strategic
and creative. She has a special skill for putting people
in contact with each other. Our agencies have worked together
on various projects over the years and her contact list is incredibly
impressive - she has been a wonderful resource for our
agency."

"Nancy Marshall Communications
has been invaluable in finding Maine stories and contacts,
many of which I've featured on Boston television. She and her
colleagues are consummate professionals. They know what
we in the media need and they deliver."

"Nancy woke us up to bringing journalists
from out-of-state to Maine. The Office of Tourism did a calculation
that showed Nancy's work generated over $10 million
of coverage a year if we would have had to pay for
it. It terms of payback, it was huge. It is one of the
best values for the state expenditure that I have identified,
and it is more credible than advertising, which people can perceive
to be self-serving."
Angus S. King, Jr., Governor, State of Maine

You and your organization
are to some degree responsible for reestablishing my faith in
PR firms. As I mentioned to you before, our last relationship
was very disappointing and I guess I tended to lump all PR firms
together. So when I commented to you before we retained your
firm that I wanted ‘to use you, abuse you and throw you away,’
I was letting my frustration in dealing with less professional
and talented people than you come through. Hopefully I haven’t
been too difficult and I most certainly will not ‘throw you
away.’ You rose to the occasion, and I can’t tell you
how pleased I am.”

"Nancy Marshall is a rare find,
a true professional, fun to work with, and thoroughly determined.
I have always found her follow-through and execution

"I've known Nancy for some 15 years
now, and have never met a media relations professional with
a more thorough knowledge of what it takes to get a
feature done. I've literally done dozens of stories
on her clients, and I know she'll provide all the necessary
background, contacts and follow-up needed for completion. On
Nancy's suggestion, we've produced several half-hour shows from
locations in Maine, and she's always been there to provide assistance
and help out with the final details. From a reporter's perspective,
she's one-of-a-kind: a media relations pro who understands
how TV gets done. When Nancy calls, I listen... and
I'm always happy I did."
