About Us
A Brief
History.
Jennifer Russell and Russ Russell (no relation!) founded Russell Communications Group with the idea that with Russ’ extensive development experience and Jennifer’s marketing instincts and writing abilities, they could build a partnership that could have a positive impact in SE Michigan.
In late 2022, after realizing that they shared similar values and vision, they found themselves in the position to begin a new venture based on trust, honesty, integrity, and grit. Russ and Jennifer specialize in nonprofit consulting and fundraising, small business growth, and strategic planning for projects and programs.
