Jenny Davies-Schley

Trusted Colleagues. Being a Progressive Promotion's "trusted colleague" is sort of like the nonprofit version of earning a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval – all of our collaboration members are experts in their fields whose work is exemplary. These collaborators help our clients reach their marketing/PR, media relations, policy/program publication and fundraising communications goals include:
Kym Foster
A local gal with a keen perspective on what's hot and what's not, Kym has an uncanny ability to create hundreds of ways to brand your organization while keeping a razor-sharp focus on your mission, goals and objectives. Her thinking is both strategic and highly innovative which makes her brand identity, logo design, illustration and design work really stand out. A bundle of energy, Kym loves to put it toward helping nonprofits and schools convey visual messaging that pops!
Kim Jacques
Kim is a grantwriting pro, having brought in grant money for a range of clients, from small start-up organizations in rural Colorado writing their first grant application to major metropolitan school districts seeking large federal grants. She is exceptionally skilled at helping nonprofits develop grant proposals based on a logic model to ensure they are clear and compelling. Kim is a recovering lawyer, but we like that about her because her thinking is logical and her attention to detail is legendary! More...
Margaret Roberts
As a former journalist, policy writer, program developer and nonprofit consultant, Margaret has helped health, aging, education, children and community organizations make social change. She can successfully engage stakeholders in collaborative efforts, conduct research, boil down complex information and effectively communicate ideas to inform public opinion. Not easily ruffled, she is someone you want on your team when project problems seem insurmountable! More...
Jason Salzman
In 1971, the Denver Post ran a photo of 8 year-old Jason clutching a "STUDENTS LOVE TEACHERS" sign during a DPS contract dispute. He's been agitating as an executive director, researcher, political strategist and media consultant on behalf of public education, anti-nuclear, environmental, population, women's health, business ethics, media integrity and anti-radical right movements ever since. And while he's quite modest about it, he's a very talented belly dancer, too! More...
Margie Butler-Shaw
Margie is a rare breed – a community-minded progressive with business-savvy to spare. Her strengths include in-depth knowledge of online marketing strategy and tools combined with a solid background in traditional marketing, outstanding project and budget management skills, a diplomatic nature, good negotiating skills, and a strong work ethic. While she's worked for start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, now she's putting her formidable skills to work for progressive causes! More...
