Jane D’Arcy is a marketing and communications strategist who helps mission-driven and growth-focused brands tell better stories, build stronger connections, and drive real results.
I’m a senior integrated marketing leader with 20+ years of experience helping brands grow through smart strategy, bold storytelling, and results-driven execution.
Based in Providence, RI, I specialize in building cohesive marketing ecosystems that connect with audiences and deliver measurable impact across B2B, B2C, and mission-driven organizations. My work spans industries like technology, healthcare, retail, sustainability, real estate, and education—driving everything from global rebrands and digital campaigns to full-funnel demand generation.
As VP of Integrated Marketing at Matter Communications, I led high-performing teams across strategy, content, digital, and PR, guiding both the work and the people behind it. I’m known for building strong, trust-based relationships with clients, serving as a strategic partner and steady collaborator across every phase of a project. Mentorship is a key part of my leadership style—I’m passionate about developing talent and helping teams thrive.
I love helping organizations find their voice, differentiate in crowded markets, and build marketing programs that actually move the needle. If you’re looking for a partner who balances big-picture vision with hands-on execution, I’d love to connect.

-Dyana Koelsch - President, DK Communications
“Jane is an excellent mentor whom I was lucky enough to work with for almost four years at Matter Communications. She helped guide me through tough career decisions and was more than providing when it came to advice on everyday work, too.
She always had the compassion to consider my life and needs outside of the workplace, which is something I truly value in a manager. Jane always supported and trusted me to lead teams “my way” while sharing her strategic experience. Without her help, I wouldn’t be where I am in my career today.
I’m fortunate to have had the time I did with her, and I will always recommend Jane to any company interested in working with her.”
