Marci Diehl’s Summary

With more than 29years experience in writing and media relations, along with intensive exposure to and involvement in the brilliant marketing campaigns of the PGA Tour over a period of 15 years, I founded DoubleVision Creative in 1996, forming and leading teams of creative professionals for marketing communications and advertising projects for a wide variety of clients.

DoubleVision Creative is a certified NYS Woman Owned Business.

My career also includes success as a freelance writer for local, regional and national magazines, including Golf Digest and Success Magazine. I have covered golf, business, executive and corporate profiles, tourism and lifestyle topics. Currently, I write for Canandaigua Magazine and I am the associate editor for development.

DoubleVision Creative is known for intelligence, expertise, gold-standard talent, innovative projects, exceeding expectations and delighting our clients with the result. Many of the projects I've worked on have taken a client "from zero to sixty" in creating or revamping their marketing communications and achieving results.

Because I often work directly with business owners, CEO’s, executive directors and editors, I excel at integrating the specific message of the client and translating that to the appropriate audience and market. I’m not afraid to take on unusual or complicated projects, from industrial subjects to appearances by celebrities.

My goal is always to produce excellence on behalf of my clients; to help each client get exactly what is needed -- and often, to help a client figure out what that might be; to offer solutions and options; to bring each client to a new level of success and profitability; and to have fun working with terrific people.

Marci Diehl’s Education

• Immaculata College

  AA , English/Journalism , 1967 — 1969

  Immaculata College in Washington, DC was a small women's college at Tenley Circle, Georgetown. Our student population came mainly from the Northeastern US and had a small population of international students. We were taught by the Sisters of Providence, whose 4 year college was St. Mary's of the Woods, next to Notre Dame University. We also had faculty from Catholic University. The campus was located next to American University. During the 1970's, women's colleges went through many closings, and IC was one of them... The campus was purchased by American University and no longer exists.
