Personal Branding and Staying Relevant During COVID-19 –

Meet Nancy, the PR Maven®,
Go-Getter, Social Media Powerhouse

In 1991, Nancy Marshall Communications (now Marshall Communications) was born, a life-changing experience for Nancy and one that’s she’s never regretted. Today, more than 29 years later, the agency has represented many major clients, including the Maine Office of Tourism, the Maine Office of Business Development, and The Orvis Company, among others.

Nancy’s hallmark is her commitment to living clients’ businesses. When she was representing Northern Outdoors, she became a licensed whitewater rafting guide. For the Maine Windjammer Association, she lived the life of a crewmember on the Victory Chimes. For Orvis, she learned to fly fish and tie flies.

Nancy is also well-known for her infectious laugh and insatiable love for learning about everyone she meets. Making connections between people for their mutual benefit is a favorite pastime, as is connecting with new and long-lost friends on social media.

Guest:
Jim Edholm
Principal & Owner
Business Benefits Inc.

Jim Edholm is recognized as a Massachusetts leader in benefits design and cost control for companies with 10 – 150 employees. Since 1982 he has been working with the owners and managers of privately held companies to help them contain the ever-growing cost of group insurance benefits in general and Health Care costs in particular.

In recent years his firm, BBI Benefits, has added a wide range of services for his client companies that help give them the same depth of support and knowledge of HR laws and regulations, compliance requirements and plan cost reduction vendors as their much larger competitors.

Since benefits represent such a large portion of employer costs (typically second only to salaries themselves), Jim is constantly sought out by employers for advice and media for a good interview. Whether the discussion is about the Affordable Care Act, new Federal compliance requirements, or Massachusetts employer mandates, Jim is prepared to discuss it in a jargon-free way. His interview style is captivating to the interviewer and audience alike.
