Mike DelliVeneri is an award-winning digital marketer who knows what it takes to tell a good tale. He works closely with clients such as Opsis, Smartabase and Crestone to deliver an authentic brand voice that mobilizes audiences to action.
Prior to his work at GFM|CenterTable, Mike ran his own consultancy, Marble Trout Media, where he worked with clients in the conservation and outdoor industries to help them build community and further their missions. Prior to that, he managed digital and non-traditional marketing at Colorado Parks and Wildlife. While there, his work was awarded Best Government Twitter account and Instagram account by Government Social Media, the largest network of government social media professionals in the U.S.
Since 2010, Mike’s made a career out of sharing a brand voice with purpose. Yet, even before that, he was the general manager of his campus radio station, which he ran for three years, and that fed his passion. He has a heart for conservation, public lands and natural resources and he pours his heart and soul into his work, life and family.
But when he’s not pouring himself into his work, you might find him pouring himself a Negroni. Mike is also a fan of skiing steeps and making his own pizza in his wood-fired oven – and he’s also been known to quote the Big Lebowski a time or ten. On the weekend, Mike can be found fly fishing, playing golf, photographing nature, or skiing and camping with his family. In other words, the dude abides.

Colorado native Lauren Noser has a decade of experience in public relations, policy communications, public affairs, campaign development, grassroots advocacy and issues management. Her work in Washington and Denver has bolstered her expertise across multiple sectors, from health care and technology, to issues and policy, to sports and entertainment.

But her career path can really be traced back to her junior year at Highlands Ranch High School, where she served on Student Senate the year they hosted a national conference. She was assigned as the public relations lead for the event. When 9News showed up—after months of pitching—she realized how much she loved PR. Lauren and her husband wed in 2020 and they love to spend time with her parents for a night of cards and Dad’s famous spaghetti. Her travels have taken her to many beautiful places; two favorites include honeymooning in Hawaii and tracing her family’s heritage while eating her way through Italy.

In her spare time, she can be found volunteering for animal charities, checking out the latest movie or concert or enjoying dinner with friends.
Maura is an outstanding, passionate communicator who cares deeply about the work she does and dedicates herself to organizations whose missions serve the greater good. This is what attracted her to GFM|CenterTable (or was it that her favorite hangout is neighboring Coors Field?). She spent the first 10 years of her career at agencies, and the past eight working as the Media Relations & Communications Manager at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, where she was responsible for keeping the museum’s exhibitions, research and programs top of mind through earned media, crisis communications, executive communications and the quarterly membership magazine, “Catalyst.”
Maura works with Children’s Hospital Colorado, City and County of Denver Office of Social Equity and Innovation, Colorado League of Charter Schools, and Caplan & Earnest.

In her free time, she is always up for an outdoor adventure. She spends her spare time reading or getting creative with knitting and crochet.

Her vociferous laughter, her inability to follow the posted speed limit and her propensity to pepper her vocabulary with words that might make a sailor blush exemplify her joie de vivre. In addition to her fabulous work, Emily enjoys spending her rare spare time checking out live music, camping and cycling with her husband, their two daughters and beloved pooch, Roux, who is possibly a dingo.

Nancy Shloss has more than 25 years of PR experience spanning health care, consumer, nonprofit and sports marketing industries. Over the course of her career, she has worked with national and local brands to generate valuable coverage across all types of media and has designed and executed launch events.

Her clients include the likes of Children’s Hospital Colorado, SCL Health, City and County of Denver, Qdoba, Warrior Games, Old Chicago, Earth Balance, First Responders Foundation, Mad Greens and Door to Door Organics.
Nancy grew up in Denver. As a child, she envisioned her sophisticated, grown-up self seated squarely behind a television anchor desk, with a head full of perfectly placed hair, seriously delivering the nightly news. She traded in that dream early on for a decidedly less public life, behind the scenes in public relations. Her very first job was relating directly with the public at the Denver Zoo. A child of the 80s, she can still be found bouncing around to Cyndi Lauper tunes—which makes sense since she has three girls and a great husband. She enjoys spending time with them above all else.
Liz arrived in Colorado in 2012 and 10 years later became our business operations coordinator. Always smiling, her goal is to lighten the load for her coworkers in our ever-evolving company. Liz is originally a Southern gal that came to the Mile High City with a degree in elementary education and a decade of early childhood education expertise. It’s no surprise that organizing a bunch of creatives is a perfect fit. And in an office where every day is bring-your-dog-to-work day, Liz is also known to arrive with her two weenies, Archie and Penny, which puts a smile on all of our faces.
A musician, a foodie and a mountain fun enthusiast, Liz enjoys spending time with her family and taking her dogs on adventures. But she’s just as happy spending some quiet time reading a book cover-to- cover – which she’s been known to do in one sitting. Liz has worked with children with special needs for more than 15 years and continues to volunteer in ways that impact this community.

Clients have included the U.S. Department of Energy, CH2M Hill, Colorado Department of Human Services, Oskar Blues and Market Force Information, among many others.
Sarah grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska, but the Great Plains weren’t great enough for this Cornhusker, so she took off in search of something greater. Although she has planted roots in Boulder, her UK ties are strong thanks to her English husband. She’s lived in some pretty cool spots, including London and Oxford, England. When she’s not working miracles for clients, Sarah can be found at a concert, skiing, walking her sweet dog, Bella, or enjoying her husband’s culinary skills with their two daughters. She’s also a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and board member with Boulder Voices for Children, advocating for children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
Jeremy is a seasoned professional with more than 20 years of experience developing and executing high-profile communications campaigns for organizations ranging from the Fortune 100 to private startups. He leads our Crisis Communication and Reputation Management practice, and over the course of his career he has provided public relations and crisis communications counsel to some of the most recognizable companies in the technology, energy, health care, professional services, education, transportation and nonprofit industries. His work has been recognized with a number of awards, including the PR industry’s highest honor, the PRSA Silver Anvil.
Jeremy grew up on the tree-lined streets of Atlanta, but attending graduate school in Boulder has made him a Colorado lifer. One of his heroes is Martin Luther King, Jr., whose legacy pulsed throughout his hometown during his childhood. MLK struck Jeremy as the ultimate master of public relations, influencing people through the power of his ideas rather than force. Jeremy started his career as a journalist (he was even editor of his high school and college newspapers), and then blended writing and the art of persuasion to fashion a career in PR. One of his goals is to travel to all seven continents—so far he’s checked off Europe, Asia, Africa and, of course, North America. He lives in Genesee, Colo., with his wife.

She drinks her Starbucks through a straw, keeps an impeccable home to showcase her art collection and has one weakness: frequent-flier miles, which she regularly cashes in to create unique memories.

Tracey is our big-picture specialist, creatively developing brand-aligned strategies that resonate with the right audiences. Equal parts writer and media relations pro, she has parlayed her signature “client comes first” mentality into success for Denver Preschool Program, the City and County of Denver, Food Bank of the Rockies and Presbyterian Health Foundation.

Tracey may have been born in Texas, but she and her husband have firmly rooted themselves in “rural Oklahoma City” with their son. These days, she enjoys food magazines and bargain shopping. Outside of her mom and wife life, she busies herself avoiding Oklahoma’s tornadoes, ice storms, heat waves and earthquakes by knitting, crocheting, reading and sometimes sewing. She loves ice cream and would live out of a suitcase if given the option.
