Gretchen W., Owner 

I’ve led and supported communications teams for nearly 15 years, both in agency and in-house settings. I’ve mastered nonprofit management, integrated marketing communications, and public administration. (I’ve got master’s degrees in them, at least.) And in 2018 — after advancing causes in New Orleans, Kansas City, Chicago, the District of Columbia, and now Denver — I melded that experience together to launch Buoy. Clients and colleagues have said my professional superpower is creating integrated campaigns: using the right mix of tools and channels to turn strangers into loyalists. I feel giddy every day to be joined by an accomplished roster of strategy, design, and content consulting partners.

In past chapters of life, I was leading or supporting marketing and communications efforts at SBP (formerly St. Bernard Project), the Alliance for Climate Protection, the University of Kansas, Grisko, the George Washington University, and Raise DC. When not living out my professional dreams, you may find me searching for new mountain views, digging into social justice issues, and giggling at cheesy puns.
