Communications

BACKGROUND: Well-Rounded Communications is a one-woman consulting shop that helps do-gooder organizations (e.g., nonprofits, foundations, charities) get their message out. Services include PR, audience research, writing/content development, campaign planning, etc. AUDIENCES: 1.) Social-good organizations/nonprofits 2.) Small agencies or other consultants who would partner with me/hire me as a subcontractor BRAND INSPIRATION/PERSONALITY: 1.) "I am driven by two main philosophies: Know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others." - Neil DeGrasse Tyson 2.) "I believe the best consultants are well-rounded enough to come up with smart ideas AND be able to execute them." 3.) "I worked with her for three years. What impressed me wasn’t her ability to find simple ways to talk about complex problems. It wasn’t her ability to project manage a simultaneous re-brand, messaging refresh and website relaunch. It wasn’t the mastery by which she led conference calls with more coalition partners than you could ever imagine needing to be on one call. What impressed me most about her was the fact she could do all those things and still make you laugh."
