Marino has added DKMS – an international nonprofit dedicated to fighting blood cancers – to its portfolio of nonprofit accounts. The agency will develop and execute a media relations and awareness campaign for the U.S. office as it looks to recruit more bone marrow/stem cell donors. “Nonprofits are often faced with the challenge of differentiating themselves in what can be a very competitive space, and we are prepared to elevate our client’s national profile, bring awareness to their cause and educate potential donors through a robust earned media campaign,” said Marino president John F. Marino. DKMS, which was founded 28 years ago in Germany by Dr. Peter Harf when he lost his wife to leukemia, has registered more than 9.3 million potential donors. The U.S. office was started in 2004.
