Good communications strategy isn't about saying more—it's about saying what matters in ways that land with the specific people you need to reach. Whether you're launching an awareness campaign, clarifying organizational messaging that's become muddled over time, creating content that builds trust with skeptical communities, developing crisis communications approaches for sensitive situations, or crafting narratives that help funders understand your impact, this service helps you cut through noise and connect authentically.
Messages That Move People
Communications Strategy & Planning
Comprehensive roadmap for how your organization communicates across all channels, clarifying who you're talking to, what you need them to know/feel/do, which channels reach them effectively, and how to maintain consistent messaging while adapting tone for different audiences. I help you audit current communications, identify gaps and opportunities, develop messaging frameworks, and create implementation plans with realistic timelines.
Services Included:
Best for: Organizations with scattered or inconsistent messaging, nonprofits launching new initiatives, institutions navigating leadership transitions, groups rebranding or repositioning, anyone feeling like they're communicating constantly but not connecting
Awareness
Campaigns
Awareness Campaigns
Targeted campaigns designed to raise visibility, shift perception, educate audiences, or mobilize action around specific causes, programs, or issues. I develop campaign strategy, create messaging, design materials (digital and print), plan channel distribution, and build evaluation frameworks to measure reach and impact.
Best for: Program launches, advocacy initiatives, fundraising campaigns, community education efforts, public health messaging, policy change campaigns, organizational visibility building
For businesses and orgs that need easy-to-use digital resources
Content Creation & Storytelling
Digital Toolkits for Community Engagement
Best for: Nonprofits needing to communicate impact to funders, organizations wanting to center community voice, programs documenting participant experiences, advocacy groups needing compelling narratives, anyone drowning in data but struggling to tell the human story
Developing compelling narratives that communicate impact, celebrate community, humanize data, or build emotional connection with audiences. This includes writing impact stories, creating video scripts, developing case studies, crafting donor appeals, writing blog/newsletter content, or creating storytelling frameworks your team can use independently.
Newsletter Strategy & Templates
Building sustainable newsletter systems—clarifying purpose and audience, developing content pillars, creating editorial calendars, designing templates, writing initial content, and training staff to maintain newsletters without burnout. The goal is newsletters people actually want to read, not just email list obligations.
Best for: Organizations with inconsistent newsletters, groups starting newsletters from scratch, nonprofits whose newsletters feel like chores, anyone wanting to build community through regular communication
Crisis Communications
Support
Rapid response support for organizations navigating sensitive situations, community harm, leadership transitions, program closures, or public controversies. I help you assess the situation, develop messaging, identify key audiences, create response statements, plan stakeholder communication, and provide media prep if needed.
Best for: Organizations facing public criticism, nonprofits addressing community harm, institutions managing leadership scandals, programs closing or pivoting suddenly, groups needing to communicate difficult decisions transparently
Storytelling Frameworks & Training
Teaching your team how to identify, collect, and tell compelling stories that serve organizational goals. I develop storytelling frameworks specific to your work, create story collection tools, train staff in narrative interviewing, and build systems for ongoing story documentation and use.
Best for: Organizations wanting to build internal storytelling capacity, nonprofits training program staff in documentation, groups needing consistent story pipeline for fundraising/marketing, institutions wanting to center community voice
