Our Experience
DMC was founded by award-winning former journalist and lawyer, Ritchenya A. Dodd. Before striking out on her own, Ritchenya worked as a journalist for more than seven years, including at The National Law Journal (New York), the Associated Press (Philadelphia Bureau) and the Thompson Publishing Group (Washington, D.C.). Ritchenya served as the NLJ’s Law Firm Management columnist, and as a reporter for The Legal Intelligencer (Philadelphia) received a Pennsylvania Publishers Association Keystone Press Award for her coverage of environmental issues. She has freelanced for legal and business publications.
Ritchenya earned a J.D. (with distinction) from the George Mason University School of Law, where she served as manuscript editor for the law review. She is joined by a team with similar backgrounds in professional services and journalism.

At Dodd Marketing Communications, our goal is to provide exceptional service every time our clients trust us with their message. We have been cited on Linkedin® for producing “great results” “on time,” and for providing “expert” services at “good value” with “high integrity.”
Here's what they say ...
"Ritchenya was effective in synthesizing large amounts of information quickly and producing summaries that were informative, useful, and readable. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional writer, particularly if analytical skills are needed."
—John Feldman, Partner
"Ritchenya has written a range of marketing communications for Reed Smith since 2002. Because she has both a law degree and experience in journalism, she has substantive insight, quick uptake, an ability to write on deadline, and strong project management skills--all of which have served our firm well. The range of her writing for us has included more than three dozen practice capabilities brochures; web content; practice newsletters; and new business pitch documents. I highly recommend Ritchenya for professional services writing and editing assignments."
—Mike Scherpereel, Director, Branding & Communications
"Time is of the essence in a media crisis. Ritchenya was terrific. She ‘hit the ground running,’ quickly became an integral part of our response team, and fully handled the writing responsibility. She willingly worked late into the evening, through the night and over weekends. In short, her work is excellent and I highly recommend her."
—Gerald E. Bisbee, Jr., Ph.D., Chairman and CEO
"Ritchenya writes articles or white papers that are 'editor-friendly'. She quickly absorbs the analytic concepts that I want to write about and translates them into reader-friendly articles."
—Kris Satkunas, Director
"I've worked with Ritchenya for more than 10 years - first pitching her stories when she was a journalist and more recently in her capacity as a writer/marketing consultant. Over the years, I used her for a number of different assignments including ghost writing, reporting, copy-writing and copy-editing. She is great at what she does and is able to produce solid, consistent work under extreme deadlines."
—John Hellerman, Principal
