About

Hi I’m Marc Moorghen (pronounced "Morgan"). I’m the Founder and Principal Consultant at On Message Communications. I help people and organizations build brands, relationships and influence to stand out from the crowd.

Currently, I serve as Vice President, Marketing Communications at Lever for Change, an affiliate of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. We help donors find and fund solutions to the world’s biggest issues, from racial and gender equity to economic development and climate change.

We develop and manage challenges ranging from $10 million to $250 million, driving over $2.2 billion in funding for high-impact solutions and strengthening dozens of top organizations to date.

From 2010 to 2017, I headed the communications and marketing efforts of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, a then $2.5 billion private family foundation established by the founder of Hilton Hotels. 

During my tenure, the Foundation grew its team to 80 people and its annual giving to $115 million per year through 12 local, national and international programs. 

Prior to establishing the communications team, I managed operations of the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize for six years, from 2005 to 2010. 

Previously, I worked in marketing and communications, education, and events management in Europe, Asia, and the United States. 

I completed my undergraduate studies at Southampton University (UK) and postgraduate education at the University of Leuven (Belgium) in European Affairs. More recently, I was awarded a Master of Communication Management degree at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. 

On a personal level, I’m passionate about the field of strategic communications, particularly the study of human interactions through languages, images, music and culture.
