Strategy and solutions for organizations contributing to social progress
I've spent more than a decade helping nonprofits, foundations, large brands, and government agencies improve their organizational strategies and communications efforts. Whether convening stakeholders to align around a new organizational vision, developing a content strategy and measurement plan, or designing a multi-channel community engagement campaign, I'm relentlessly focused on helping clients reach their goals.
What does it mean to be "relentlessly focused" on your goals?
It means asking "why?" early and often during any project. It means understanding (and caring about!) what you are trying to achieve, whether it's improving high school graduation rates in your community, influencing health policy debates with your research, or increasing the number of return customers for your business. It means using our shared understanding of your goals to determine which audience segments to target, which strategies and tactics to pursue, and which metrics we'll use to measure success. It means being selective in a world of ever-growing and evolving communications platforms and finite time and resources. And ultimately, it means helping you reach and exceed your goals with solutions that are tailored to your unique needs.

DATA PUBLISHING & STORYTELLING
Do you have data and/or analysis you want to share with internal or external audiences? I can help you uncover how different audience segments think about data, find it, and use it to ensure your data publishing, visualization, and storytelling efforts are achieving the intended results.
COntent AUDITS & STRATEGY
How well is your content performing? Which content types, platforms and/or messages are yielding the best results? I can assess your traditional and digital content processes, structure, substance, and experience design and develop a new comprehensive content strategy that addresses your high priority goals.
AUDIENCE RESEARCH & ANALYSIS
When was the last time you asked your key audiences how they perceive your brand, to what extent they value your products or services, or if they have any difficulty using your website? Through surveys, interviews, and usability tests I can uncover insights to better serve your audiences.
