Manners joined Godfrey in 1984 as director of public relations and was later promoted to vice president, then executive vice president and partner in 1999, and has served as president and CEO since 2009. During his leadership of Godfrey’s PR services, Chuck brought a results-oriented approach to PR programs, and managed them to achieve a high degree of integration with broader marketing and communications initiatives. Chuck's insistence on high-contact, high-integrity media relations remains a hallmark of Godfrey PR programs.

As president and CEO, Chuck is leading the company’s shift to unified marketing, which in his words allows Godfrey to “embrace both the opportunities and complexities of digital marketing, while remaining focused on two things that have always been critical: what’s most important to the client’s customer, and what’s the grand concept that will bring the client’s marketing message to life?”

Chuck’s earlier background includes both journalism and corporate communications, along with a B.S. from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of Vistage International.
