Gordon Mayer is a writer and storyteller who has been ensuring all stakeholders have a voice in shaping effective and fair policy for more than 20 years. He focuses on helping nonprofits and businesses with complex stories share their work and impact with the people they care about. After starting in journalism at community and metro newspapers, Gordon dedicated his career to nonprofit marketing communications. He learned the importance of storytelling early on: When co-workers said, “Let’s have Gordon write the press releases, he used to be a reporter so he must know how,” he found the best way to help groups get heard was by highlighting the voices of those most involved in their work. He started his storytelling communications practice after helping to lead fundraising, operations and communications at local and national nonprofit groups in Chicago.
