“You are one accomplished woman! I’m honored to get to correspond and work with you!”

“You are one of the best, Nell. You ladies have such an eye and are so good at seeing what we need! We are so grateful for you both! Thank you for all that you and Lucy (Gnazzo) have done to elevate our school!”

“Please see our Nell’s fabulous work of getting the media to cover us.  We were a Hometown Hero on ABC27!  Her work is so invaluable.  I want you all to know how much she has done for us and straight from the heart!”

“Nell, you are amazing! Thank you for your continued support.  I am so incredibly excited and proud of the growth we are seeing with our mighty organization.”

Since 2018, Nell has graciously and enthusiastically volunteered her time and talents working tirelessly to support and grow the Dauphin County CASA program. CASA has benefitted from the expertise Nell brought following a long and successful career as a well-respected journalist, public relations and media expert. Her knowledge of both for profit and non-profit organizations benefited CASA as Nell successfully promoted CASA in the community and was instrumental in helping to raise funds to support the organization.

Nell has been instrumental in promoting CASA on all the major local TV and radio stations, Pennlive, Good Day PA!, TheBurg, and Central Penn Business Journal, among other venues. Nell’s sunny disposition and engaging personality make her a great communicator, collaborator, and a joy to work with. Her knowledge and experience have certainly contributed to the growth and success of the organization. The CASA team is most grateful to have Nell as a public relations consultant and dedicated member of the team. It’s my pleasure to highly recommend her!

“PA Family Support Alliance can only be effective in its mission of preventing child abuse when parents, professionals, volunteers and community members across Pennsylvania know about our services and how to participate in our programs. No one has helped us spread our critical message better than Nell McCormack Abom. Over the years we have dealt with large firms specializing in integrated marketing communications and none has come close to the outcomes produced by Nell. Her passion, dedication, and determination are unmatched. Using a nice blend of technology, forward thinking, and solid relationship building, Nell can help you promote your work. At PFSA, we consider her to be one of our state’s strongest “Blue Ribbon Champions for Safe Children.”

“I worked with Nell on a project in September 2017 and she was fantastic. She was a true partner that helped both organizations gain substantial media coverage. Nell is a true professional and has a great deal of communication and media knowledge.”

“Nell’s unique media relations experience and vast professional network was incredibly helpful to our team as we tried to prioritize hundreds of opportunities to give back to the community that supported us throughout our 2015 Little League World Series tournament. Her boundless energy and organizational skills allowed us to support many charitable causes that were important to us, all while protecting the time and best interests of players, coaches, and families.”

“Nell McCormack Abom represented PA Family Support Alliance for more than four years and helped position our organization as a well-respected thought leader in the field of child abuse prevention. Her work ethic was unmatched as she tirelessly worked with radio, television, print and social media. Nell’s critical eye for detail and drive for perfection, yielded outcomes our organization did not experience with far larger social marketing and communication firms. In addition to her decades of experience, Nell brings to the table an amazing passion for her work, and the ability to coach those who must learn the value of crafting and executing a message that will resonate with others, and therefore advance a mission. The value add Nell brought to our organization is incalculable and the foundation she built very strong. She was a partner with our staff, board and strategic partners and we could not be more grateful for the opportunity to work with someone of Nell’s caliber- simply outstanding!”
