Person is singular whereas personnel is plural. 'Referred by any of our' - suggests more than one, thus plural, thus personnel which refers to more than one person.

marketing personnel
but I would say:
"were you referred by a member of our marketing personnel? If so, please give his/her name".
"were you referred by a member of our marketing personnel? If so, please give his/her name".

a member of our marketing staff
We say, "marketing staff," "sales staff," "nursing staff," etc. This is how we identify a unit of personnel by function or line of work. "Marketing personnel" is not wrong, but "marketing staff" is more idiomatic.
