Marian and her associates know what to say, and how to say it, in a way that engages people to give money, time, and support.

Special Event Planning—Far more than ‘party planning’, this is a creative and thoughtful strategy to create events geared to specific audiences (i.e., donors, community groups, etc) that will enhance your position, stand, or brand. It’s through these events that messages are communicated, opinions are changed, support is solidified, opposition is mitigated, and relationships are formed and strengthened. Only by bringing people together, in many instances, can alliances be formed and meaningful discussions be held that support your cause.

Speech Writing Services—By working one-on-one with clients, Marian develops scripts that are genuine, impactful reflections of each person’s values and vision. The messaging you want to get across is articulated in way that strengthens your leadership and position—all while displaying your unique personality and individual brand. It’s more than writing and reading words on a paper; it’s expressing who you are, what sets you apart, and how you can make a difference to the people you seek to reach.
