Who's behind the chair?

Colette O'Neill is the woman behind the chair. Because she likes to tell the story, it's a good idea to learn about her own. Originally from Ireland, she has led marketing and communications efforts in medium/large non-profit settings in Boston for over 13 years. She knows what it means to work with the leanest of budgets and appreciates the experience of building strong vendor relations in terms of how they translate to cost effective print, media and design investment.

Because she has spent years on the non-profit side, she gets it.

Colette has experience in project management, marketing, brand strategy and execution, media relations, graphic and web design, copy-writing, events and video production. And all of this came from a long-term reality of having to do it on her own and without the support of a larger marketing team. For over a decade, it was as if she was running a business within a business.
