The CELCO brand was established more than 40 years ago in 1981 by one of our industry’s first leaders, Carol Enters, who created the Carol Enters List Company (CELCO) to provide list brokerage and list management services for the nonprofit community.
At the start of 2024, Andrew Giffen and Kelly Leech—both long time CELCO employees—were able to purchase CELCO from Barbara Sims through their entity AKWire, Inc.
CELCO is a full-service List Brokerage and List Management company serving the nonprofit community that is part of AKWire, Inc. Under the AKwire brand we also offer strategic management services to the nonprofit community.
CELCO has a diverse array of nonprofit partners, having established a reputation for delivering superior service based on deep fundraising expertise.
Our brokers and managers have vast experience, and our support staff has been trained to learn issues beyond the basics of lists. We are not simply your list source, but are studied and proficient in: marketing trends, fundraising strategy, file health analysis, budget development, modeling, merge purge, direct mail production, and privacy and other issues affecting all mailers.
We are dedicated to client and staff success. We carefully monitor our staffing to ensure the right mix and talented people are in place to achieve the best possible workplace, service and products.
