Testimonials

"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."

Brooke Dojny
Author, Dishing Up Maine

"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."

Chip Carey, Vice President Marketing
American Skiing Company, Park City, Utah

"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."

Peter Mehegan, Host
Chronicle, WCVB-TV, Boston

"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
1995-2002

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 skill second to none."

Russell Walters, President
Northern Outdoors Adventure Resort, The Forks, Maine

"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."

Tom Caron, NESN Sports Personality

"Working with Nancy Marshall Communications is a pleasure. Nancy is thorough and knowledgeable about how to get things done efficiently. Her keen sense of public relations and marketing is enhanced by her creativity and enthusiasm, as well as her sensitivity to the needs of the client. I would highly recommend the services of Nancy Marshall Communications."
