REFERENCE - FORMER CLIENT

It was my pleasure to work with Megan Dunn, who served as a Senior Marketing Strategist under my leadership in a communications office for a science-based federal agency.

Megan brought both deep expertise and a “let’s make it work” attitude to every challenge. Our team often had to navigate multiple rounds of reviews, shifting priorities, and the sensitivities that come with working in a government environment. Through it all, Megan stayed positive, adaptable, and solutions oriented, ensuring every voice was heard and every project stayed true to our mission.

Her creativity and strategic thinking helped transform our office into a highly effective operation that not only promoted our resources but expanded our reach to new audiences. She earned the trust of scientists across the agency who knew she could help their work make an impact, and she was equally respected by leadership for her professionalism and sound judgment.

Megan is a joy to work with and someone I would recommend wholeheartedly for any role she chooses to pursue.

REFERENCE - FORMER CO-WORKER

I'm happy to serve as a professional reference for Megan Dunn, who I've known since 2014. At Agency CHIEF, I was Megan's direct supervisor for three years. It was a pleasure to work with her again recently at Intellibridge. She is a dynamic creative who knows how to leave a lasting mark. 

Megan has significant experience in the public sector, coordinating and collaborating among numerous stakeholders and subject matter experts to achieve big goals. More importantly, Megan is a kind and enthusiastic person to work with. To every project she brings an open mind, always looking for ways to improve. Hers is the voice in the room that will ask interesting questions, make new connections, and bring others into the conversation. 

She is especially good at thinking through what content will appeal to specific audiences, even when clients’ had niche or technical initiatives. I often witnessed this skill in her work for the National Institute of Justice. In the years I’ve known her, Megan was responsible for pitching new ideas, developing comprehensive marketing plans, creating digital campaigns, and writing and editing a variety of content.

I believe Megan's passion and drive would be an asset to Richmond's creative community, and that she would thrive as your Director of Marketing. I'd be happy to share more about my experiences working with Megan.

REFERENCE - FORMER CO-WORKER AND MANAGER

It is my pleasure to recommend Megan Dunn. I have had the privilege of working alongside Megan for the last 11 years, nearly 8 of which I was her direct supervisor. During that time, she has been an invaluable leader, collaborator, mentor, and creative force within our team.

From the start, Megan demonstrated exceptional creativity and strategic vision. She excels at developing campaigns and strategies that balance artistry and creative direction with compelling copy that resonate deeply with target audiences. She is an insightful collaborator and always keen to ask questions about past performance to help our clients better understand and ultimately connect with audiences in meaningful and authentic ways. When we have a client or team struggling with the creative side of our work, Megan is the one called in to help refine direction and aesthetic, always pushing our work to be the best it can be.

Equally important, Megan is a collaborative and empathetic leader. She works seamlessly across clients and functional areas to ensure that our messaging and design remain cohesive, inspiring, and on-message. She listens carefully, values every voice in the room, and empowers the rest of the team to bring their full creativity and ideas to our work. As a leader, Megan has been instrumental in cultivating emerging talent within our organization. She helps staff develop confidence, technical expertise and a deeper understanding of the role marketing plays in our clients’ work.

Another of Megan’s standout strengths is her talent for building and nurturing client relationships. She approaches every interaction with curiosity and professionalism, recognizing that trust and collaboration are essential to executing good marketing plans. Megan earned the trust of clients and partners through her integrity, responsiveness, and impeccable organization of all of the moving parts of our projects, many of which happened concurrently and quickly.

In every way, Megan embodies the creativity, leadership and community spirits needed for any marcomm leadership role. I am confident that she will bring the same passion, strategic insight, and collaborative energy to your team as she did to ours. I would choose her for my own team again in a heartbeat; you’ll be lucky to have her.
