What Sets Us Apart

At Buris Chalmers, we start with mission. That means every press release, every grant proposal, and every advocacy post is built around one purpose: amplifying your mission and the voices of people you serve.

Our Services

We provide nonprofits and governmental organizations with end-to-end communications support, including:

Social media success comes through incisive content, strategy and persistence.

Social media plays a powerful role in shaping how people interact, learn, do business, and share influence. Careful content and thoughtful strategy bring success.

Our broad experience in publishing and journalism lends itself to efforts across the written communication spectrum, and we craft memorable feature stories in collaboration with nonprofit organizations and the media.
