Courtney joined dovetail solutions in 2019. Her marketing expertise is deep and varied with more than a decade of successes benefiting public private and non-profit organizations.
Courtneys career has evolved from the intersection of non-profit management and broadcast media as a marketing strategist and tactician at Colorado Public Radio (CPR). She wore many hats and cultivated a wide set of skills during her eight-year tenure with one of the largest media organizations in Colorado and a leader nationally among public media outlets.
As director of communications for CPR Courtney oversaw creative strategy audience research and development advertising and content marketing. She built an in-house creative team from the ground up growing talent and expertise for branding and corporate storytelling. She developed marketing plans and brand strategy to position the organization for growth and provided subsequent counsel and direction to help shape and extend CPRs brand as growth efforts were realized. This included her work to support the launch of CPRs first triple-A radio station (OpenAir) in 2011; projects to engage communities more deeply in and in some cases create new communities around CPRs music and journalism products with an emphasize on partnerships; and a multi-year effort to evolve CPRs digital strategy with specific focus on new channels like email and social media and more robust and user-centered design.
Before joining Colorado Public Radio Courtney honed her skills as a copywriter project manager and PR practitioner for Colorado Parks amp; Wildlife where she supported content marketing PR and events for 42 state parks. While completing her masters degree at the University of Denver she also gained real-world experience as an intern and later comms specialist on the global communications team for Denver-based software company Quark Inc.
Community development education and non-profit work are at the center of Courtneys professional passions and stem from an interest in civics and democracy which she cultivated early in life.

Courtney holds a bachelors degree in political science from the College of Wooster (Wooster Ohio) where she studied youth political campaigns and voter non-participation. She adapted that work as a graduate student to consider the impact of the medias presentation of politics on the politically inactive 18- to 24-year-old demographic. Her research compared traditional television network news with that of ’The Daily Show With Jon Stewart’ in a content analysis of similar segments.
Courtney brings an eagle eye for detail sound decision making and efficiency to her work for dovetail clients. A divergent thinker Courtney excels at finding uncommon and unexpected links to connect seemingly unrelated things. This approach has served her well to conceptualize strategic campaigns and messaging that yield results and to secure value-added publicity connecting clients to thoughtful and meaningful stories of community impact.
When shes not working youll find Courtney outside adventuring through her favorite places in Colorado (and beyond) in her kitchen cooking and baking engaged in her favorite books shows magazines podcasts and YouTube videos snuggling her ornery cat Moses and enjoying life with her husband and twin sons.
