How We Work Together

Working with outside help shouldn’t feel like, well, work.

That’s why we make it easy to onboard us and get moving – because we know you needed our help yesterday and every second counts when big projects and big results are on the line.

We offer flexibility and speed in how we work together:

  • Short-term projects? Love ‘em. Bring us along to help spearhead initiatives with fast deadlines and C-suite attention – or simply play a supporting role. We’re equally passionate about being part of a team – or leading the charge.

  • Missing a key leader on the team? Our secret sauce is the ability to come aboard and make it feel like we’ve been there forever. We seamlessly integrate with your team, thanks to genuine warmth, strong experience, no egos, and a real desire to roll up our sleeves and simply get to work. Harness our proven track record of team leadership – and let us help you find your next amazing permanent hire along the way.

  • Longer-term expertise needed? We bring that too. We’re delighted to be on call and in the mix day-to-day to get key work done for you. Whether it’s crafting, advising and executing on an internal comms strategy, assisting with change management for a merger or acquisition, or just rounding out your team as a seasoned player, we jump right in.

A Thoughtful, Human Approach to Emerging Technologies

For companies, the pressure to adopt AI and other emerging technologies feels intense. No one wants to fall behind, and everyone wants to do more than merely keep up. The desire to outpace the competition – and even set the standard – is real.

And yet it’s important to be thoughtful, intentional and ethical about using AI. 

In communications, that’s even more crucial because audiences need to feel our authenticity, sincerity and humanness, now more than ever. Let me help you think through the when, how and why of onboarding and using AI so you can create and strengthen purposeful, fruitful connections with your teams, clients and partners.

Together, we’ll take what’s good from these emerging technologies – without sacrificing the power and irreplaceability of human nuance, judgment, and experience.
