About

ZINC Strategies provides communications consulting services for government and corporate clients. Founder and Principal, Marci Hotsenpiller is an award-winning writer, communications strategist and online consultant. Her work involves communications planning, project branding, community newsletters, project news releases, website content, social media campaigns, media training, spokesperson services, public art programs, and signage strategies.

Under Marci’s leadership, ZINC has been called on to manage communications for over $200M worth of airport renovations, highway upgrades, commercial developments, green-energy projects and other major civic projects. These projects usually involve an element of disruptive construction work and consulting with multiple groups and stakeholders to gain support.

Due to an excellent track record of gaining positive media coverage for projects and new technologies, Marci also works closely with tech companies in the start-up and second-round financing stages to help them tell their story via the international press.
