“I subcontracted with Merry Ann to develop a marketing and communications plan for a nonprofit conservation-focused organization in rural Oregon. Merry Ann is a real professional–she was timely on project deliverables; provided key strategies that are well-aligned to the organization both currently and over the next few years; and she was responsive to the unique needs of the organization. The organization received a very comprehensive and clear plan that they will be able to implement and manage. Merry Ann also provided substantial pro-bono hours on top of the contractual hours. And– lucky me!–she was a true pleasure to work with!”
–Adrienne Graham, Principal Consultant, Leapfrog Training & Facilitation

persuade them to take action on policy reforms. Merry Ann is a terrific resource for organizations with challenging communications assignments.

I recommend Merry Ann for her ability to keep us in the spotlight and build momentum for our cause.” –Sue Hildick, President, Chalkboard Project
“We are celebrating a huge success today. The Deschutes Partnership was chosen by the Oregon Lottery for its summer
statewide ad campaign. Thank YOU for all of the work that you did on getting the brand together for us. This is just a tremendous reflection of all of the work we did a few years back. Much to celebrate. All of the partners have a lot to be proud of and you, too, for the role you played in this success.”–Bea Armstrong, The Deschutes Partnership
“Merry Ann Moore of Moore Creative is an extremely talented, creative and resourceful marketing consultant. She had her hands full, trying to tease out a common storyline for four successful, but very different conservation organizations that sought to partner and go jointly down a path that individually, they couldn’t go. Her patience, tenacity and commitment were greatly appreciated by all involved and I’d have no hesitation in recommending her services.” –Brad Chalfant, Executive Director, Deschutes Land Trust
“We are in awe of your energy, writing skills, contacts, and follow-through.” –Cyndy Cook, Executive Director, Housing Works
“Merry Ann has amazing energy, passion and perseverance. The campaign was long and exhausting. Yet almost every day, she would take in new information, tweak the campaign’s communication strategy, and come up with new ways or twists on the strategy to get the information out to voters. Given the difficult economy and local opposition to the levy, at many points during the campaign the committee was very pessimistic about its chances of passing. Yet Merry Ann never let up. We won by 9 percentage points, and in large part we have Merry Ann’s knowledge, skills and indefatigable effort to thank.” –Dr. Christine Jones, Chair, Sisters School Board
“Merry Ann is strong in organization, schedule adherence, creativity, and level of detail. I was consistently impressed with the level of creativity and detail in all her work.

Merry Ann’s creative skills around marketing, messaging, and branding are exceptional in my opinion.”–Chris Gannon, Director, Crooked River Watershed Council

“Since jumping in the world of local watershed protection and conservation, Merry Ann has been a great asset through my effort to understand the Planning Commission, Board of County Commissioners, the details of the draft County Comprehensive Plan and the public involvement process. Merry Ann is very organized as shown by her outstanding research and writing, where she has used strong science to push for better stewardship of our lands and waters. She has a proven desire to work with a diversity of groups and individuals to share stories and facts to craft messages and campaigns that highlight our unique fish and wildlife populations in the region.” –Darek Staab, Upper Deschutes Home Rivers Initiative, Trout Unlimited
“The event went very well– a full house. I asked people how they heard about it and it was a variety of ways, e-mails, various alerts, community calendars and papers so I think your strategy worked very well. The City, County, and I felt it was a raging success. You were very effective in so many ways with preparing resource materials, posters, and writing the news release for the City. Well done and thank you!!! –Maret Pajutee, U.S.Forest Service
