Our audiences include: existing and potential donors, major and individual; philanthropy staff; public education organizers; journalists and researchers; educators.
Schott’s communications team includes a Digital & Creative Director, Patrick St. John, and Communications Director, Melissa Daar Carvajal. The team has worked in collaboration with Schott’s Senior Vice Presidents (Advancement, Strategy and Program) to identify website design elements and brand strategy.
