We Are
Founded in 1995 and incorporated in 1998, Community Marketing Concepts, is a Philadelphia based, certified minority and woman owned full-service engagement marketing and communications firm. CMC is well into their family succession plan. Founder Linda Chandler, while still active has supported leadership transfer to her daughter, Phoebe Coles.

We influence communities to interact with campaigns, understand their meaning and act on their message. We understand how the use of appropriate communication tactics can overcome message reception barriers and close the “awareness to action” gap.
