“Marilyn Ball knows collaboration—not competition—is the way 21st-century professionals catalyze positive change in public relations, marketing, and advertising.
Using case studies drawn from direct experience, her exceptional recent presentation for the Public Relations Association of Western North Carolina defined and clarified the key factors for successful collaboration and cooperation, convincing me that the distance between the images in our heads and the reality within our reach is only relationships away.
I commend Marilyn’s commitment to professional excellence, outreach, and best practices within the field of public relations.”
Sherri L. McLendon, MA,
President 2011 Public Relations Association of Western North Carolina

Marilyn Ball is the quintessential collaborator, bringing people and organizations together for mutual benefit. She has proven time and again the value of building partnerships, sharing resources, and engaging people in creative cooperative solutions. Besides, she’s lots of fun!
