Q. Who is McKinley Marketing?

A: McKinley Marketing is a consulting firm dedicated to helping associations advance their missions and achieve their visions. We help associations create value, effectively promote programs and services, identify member and customer needs, determine and implement appropriate dues structures, and generate non-dues income. We deliver the strategic thinking, tactical support and practical solutions associations need to tackle our clients’ most pressing challenges.

Q: Who are McKinley Marketing's clients?

A: Trade and professional association clients represent virtually all of our business. We have worked with hundreds of non-profit organizations, including international societies, high-profile trade groups and small, regional organizations. We have also worked for many for-profit companies. Click here to see a partial list of McKinley Marketing’s clients.

Q: What type of consulting projects does McKinley Marketing focus on?

A: McKinley Marketing has completed consulting assignments that cover virtually every function of association management. As a result, we have a body of knowledge and experience and we’re ready to share it with our clients. Our association clients quickly realize an extraordinary return on their investment with us. Our consulting services can be broken down into six broad categories.

Q: What are McKinley Marketing’s fees?

A: Our fees vary significantly based on the scope of work. We know that each assignment represents a significant investment on behalf of our clients so McKinley Marketing seeks to determine an appropriate scope of work to help each association accomplish their objectives. Contact us to learn more about the options available to your organization. We would be happy to schedule an in-person meeting either here in our offices or at your location.

Q: Where is McKinley Marketing, Inc. located?

A: Because of the concentration of associations in the Washington, DC area, McKinley Marketing is headquartered in our nation’s capital. Previously located in Chevy Chase, MD, McKinley moved inside the confines of the District in 2005 to be closer to many of our clients. Our address is:

McKinley Marketing, Inc.
2233 Wisconsin Ave, NW, Suite 525
Washington, DC 20007

In late 2006, McKinley Marketing responded to market demand by expanding into the city with the second highest concentration of associations, Chicago. Under the leadership of Managing Consultant, Sheri Jacobs, McKinley Marketing, Inc., has a presence in the Chicagoland area. Our Chicago address is:

10 S. Riverside Plaza
Suite 1800
Chicago, IL 60606

Q: My organization is not headquartered in Washington, DC or Chicago. Can we still work with McKinley Marketing?

A: Of course. Many of our clients are headquartered outside Washington, DC and Chicago. With today’s technology and McKinley Marketing’s innovation and flexibility, distance is the most minor of obstacles. With an increasing number of organizations popping up all over the country—we have done our fair share of traveling. While there is no substitute for a face-to-face meeting, much of our work can be conducted virtually.

Q: Who is the “McKinley” of McKinley Marketing?

A: Actually, there is no "McKinley". Our company was founded in 1994 by Jodie Slaughter, who liked the "ring" of McKinley Marketing. In truth, we simply "borrowed" the McKinley name—and so far it has worked.
