About

Hello, I’m Chayton Marquis (or Chay if that’s easier), a Minneapolis-based communications and content professional who thrives at the intersection of mission driven environments, content creation, and storytelling. When I can communicate a client’s brand image through short form content in an exiting, engaging, and innovative way, I feel not only like I’m developing the company’s goal, but I am developing as a professional myself. My nonprofit and education-focused work has sharpened my ability to reach diverse audiences with clear, actionable messages, which I translate into writing and images with Canva and Adobe Suite.

I’m proficient in Spanish and love collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive impact. feel free to visit my website and take a look at some of the work and impacts I have had! Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup
