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.
