Ellen M. Martin

"K/MA was our corporate communications partner from the time IDEC was a 100-person startup through the creation of Biogen Idec, a global leader. Throughout this time, the team was insightful, creative, collaborative--and able to efficiently call out what was both distinctive about our business and compelling about our company culture throughout our growth and evolution."
