Strategic Advisory
With more than two decades of experience working with nonprofits, foundations and socially responsible companies, we understand the politics of social change, and the need for resilient narratives to withstand the challenges of today’s climate. We serve as a trusted thought partner, offering high-level counsel that helps organizations navigate an increasingly complex and fast-moving landscape.
Real-time guidance.
Our reputation over the past two decades has been built on our ability to bring clarity to the moment at hand—whether that’s guiding a team through a sensitive announcement, helping reframe an organizational narrative or advising on emerging opportunities and risks. We don’t just execute, we help shape the strategy behind what, how and when to communicate, ensuring every decision is aligned with mission and long-term vision.
Strategic advisory can be offered as a standalone service for organizations to use as needed, or can be integrated into other offerings.
We can also offer a Fractional Chief Communications Officer (CCO) to work on time-sensitive projects. Our Fractional CCO service provides organizations with senior-level communications leadership without the need to hire a full-time executive. This service is designed for organizations that may not have senior communications expertise on staff, but that require experienced guidance to sharpen strategy, address an emergent issue or weigh in on day-to-day communications practices. A fractional CCO offers the strategic counsel of a seasoned leader, ensuring your communications align with organizational priorities, anticipate risks and effectively engages audiences. This model offers both cost savings and flexibility. Organizations gain access to high-level strategic leadership as needed—whether for a defined period, during a transition, or to supplement an existing team. The result is immediate, specialized support to help organizations navigate challenges, seize opportunities and build a stronger communications foundation for the future.
Below are a few ways that our strategic advisory—through a Fractional CCO or our retained services—can help your organization:
- Strategic Counsel: Act in a senior leadership capacity to weigh in on pressing issues and opportunities.
- Develop a Strategic Roadmap: A clear communications plan aligned to the organization’s broader mission.
- Strengthen Messaging and Narrative: Refine positioning to increase awareness of the organization, while engaging key audiences.
- Support the Team: Coaching and guidance for staff to build skills and confidence while executing at a higher level.
