Fractional Communications Strategist for Founders and Growing Companies
You need senior communications thinking.
Not a full-time hire.
And definitely not an agency that doesn't know you.
I work with founders and leadership teams who need senior communications thinking without the overhead of a full-time communications director.
Retainer-based or project-based.
Built around what your business actually needs right now.
13 years in rooms where the wrong word cost something real.
I didn't start as a writing coach.
I started in corporate communications — crisis response at BlackBerry, change management at Navigant and Slalom, internal and external communications for organizations where clarity under pressure wasn't optional.
I know what a communications strategy looks like when it's built properly. And I know what it costs when it isn't.
What I bring to founders and growing companies is that same strategic rigor — without the bureaucracy, committee approvals, and the Claude-drafted press-release language that makes your reader fall asleep.
Your voice is your strategy.
I help you build both.
Your communications, finally working as hard as you are.
Senior communications thinking applied to what your business needs most.
That might look like:
Executive voice and thought leadership. You're the face of your company. Your LinkedIn, your newsletter, your keynote — they need to sound like you at full strength. Not polished into someone else.
Content strategy. What you say, where you say it, how often, and why. A strategy that reflects how your business actually works and what your audience actually needs to hear.
Launch and campaign messaging. A new offer, a rebrand, a product launch. The words that carry it to market — consistent, clear, and built to convert.
Internal communications. How you talk to your team matters as much as how you talk to your customers. Culture, alignment, and trust are built in language.
Communications infrastructure. No messaging framework. No brand voice guide. No one owning the story. I help you build the foundation so everything you create from here is consistent and strategic.
Crisis and reputation communications. When something goes sideways, you need someone who's been there. I've managed crisis communications for global brands. I know how to move fast, stay clear, and protect what you've built.
This is for you if —
You're a founder or CEO who is the voice of your brand — and your content doesn't reflect how good you actually are and is attracting the wrong people
Your company is growing, and your communications haven't kept up
You need a communications director, but you're not ready for a full-time hire
You've worked with agencies and gotten generic — you need someone who thinks like a strategist and writes like a human
Something has gone wrong, and you need clear, careful messaging fast
This is NOT for you if —
You want someone to manage your social media calendar
You need volume over strategy
You're looking for the cheapest option
Two ways to engage.
Option 1: Retainer
For ongoing communications support
A monthly retainer gives you a consistent strategic communications partner. We define the scope together — what you need most, what we tackle first, how we work.
Most retainers include a mix of strategy, writing, editing, and advising. Some are heavy on execution. Some are purely advisory. We build it around your actual needs.
Starting at $5,000/month, 3-month minimum engagement
Option 2: Project
For specific communications challenges
A defined project with a clear scope, timeline, and deliverable.
Messaging frameworks, launch copy, voice guides, crisis communications, website copy — whatever needs to get done.
Priced by project scope.
Starting with a discovery conversation
Not sure which fits? Let's talk first. A 30-minute call is enough to know.
