Helping nonprofits change the world through
effective communications.
Welcome! I’m Mary.
For more than a decade, I have strengthened institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with values-driven strategic communications.
What We Offer
Sometimes you need a partner who can be a Swiss Army knife. Sometimes you just need an extra set of hands for a “big lift” project. Sometimes you don’t know what you need — just that you could use support. We can help.
We offer an array of strategic communications services that can be adapted to meet your specific needs. Get in touch, and let’s assess your situation together and create a plan that works for you and your budget.
Strategic Counsel
We help you determine your goals for positioning and reputation, and we develop achievable strategies for success.
Crisis Communications
We partner with you to navigate emerging issues in a way that reflects your institution’s culture and values.
Leadership Support
We counsel senior leaders so they can effectively engage with their audiences and guide their organizations.
Editorial Support
Through creative storytelling and thoughtful editing, we shape short- and long-form content that inspires action.
Media Relations
By leveraging our extensive media experience and relationships, we amplify the stories that matter most to your organization.
Trainings
We empower you and your team through media prep sessions, op-ed and messaging workshops, and tabletop exercises.
My Approach
I bring to my work unbounded curiosity and a passion for education and all of the opportunities it offers for students and society.
I strive to build bridges and cultivate partnerships that are grounded in candor, empathy and joy.
My engagements typically begin with a discovery period. I believe that to advise my clients effectively, I need to first understand their organization’s unique culture and complexities. From there, I tailor my strategies to meet the specific needs and goals of my clients.
