Marianne Chilco

I had the pleasure of working alongside Marianne Chilco for several years and can say her expertise in marketing and communications is exceptional. She brings a unique ability of combining a strategic mindset with creative skills, leading to impactful, valued work. She has led both large digital projects (refreshing an entire website) to smaller campaigns. She is a top-notch writer, able to bring the right voice to the right audience and create meaningful messaging that compels people to take action. Aside from her expertise and skill set, Marianne is absolutely lovely to work with. She listens well, collaborates with her teams and helps achieve (often over achieves) on all goals. Anyone would be lucky to know and work with Marianne.

It's been a privilege to work alongside Marianne for 15 years in the marketing communications world and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most talented, dedicated, and impactful professionals I’ve ever known.

Everything Marianne creates comes straight from the heart, and that authenticity is what makes her work so powerful. Whether she’s crafting a compelling story, developing an innovative campaign, or connecting with donors and community members, she has an incredible ability to inspire action and drive meaningful change. She doesn’t just hit fundraising targets—she builds lasting relationships that strengthen organizations and transform lives.
