You’re creating real impact.
But your visibility isn’t keeping pace.

Hi, I’m Anne.

I help nonprofits close the gap between impact and visibility—building the positioning, messaging, and systems that make your value clear to the people who matter to your mission.

Leading a nonprofit means juggling everything at once, and communications often falls to the bottom of the list.

Funding opportunities slip by.
Talented people burn out.
Transitions become chaotic.
Your impact grows while your visibility stays flat.

Strategic communications builds the infrastructure that makes your organization more resilient, fundable, and sustainable.

How I can help

I work with mission-driven organizations to turn communications from a scramble into a strategic asset—one that attracts funding, builds your profile, and keeps your community engaged.

Fractional communications leadership

An ongoing partnership where I work alongside your team—providing strategic oversight, supporting major initiatives, and giving your communications team the backing to do their best work. Think of it as having a Director of Communications without the costs of a full-time hire.

Best for: Organizations in growth mode, navigating transitions, or building the communications function.

90-day communications build

A focused engagement to create the strategic foundation your communications team needs. Over 3 months, we build your core messaging, communications plan, and operational playbooks, then I hand it off with everything documented and your team ready to own it.

Best for: Organizations with communications staff who need strategic clarity, not ongoing oversight.

I also work with organizations on focused engagements, such as:

  • Campaign strategy and execution: Launch and advocacy campaigns that need strategic architecture and clear execution plans

  • Executive communications and ghostwriting: Speeches, op-eds, and thought leadership that position your leaders as trusted voices

  • Issues management: Communications strategy when you're navigating sensitive issues, organizational change, or reputational challenges

These are typically scoped as standalone projects based on your specific needs and timeline.

Let's talk

Why leaders choose to work with me

I spent 15 years inside nonprofit organizations—not as an outside consultant, but as the person in the room navigating team dynamics, supporting fundraising, and advising leaders.

I led communications for a global social enterprise through a multi-year transformation and subsequent rebrand. I know what it's like to build a communications function from scratch, make the case for resources, and deliver when everything is in flux.

I hold a Master's in Professional Communications, and that training, combined with years in-house means I understand the unique pressures facing mission-driven organizations and what it takes to make communications a strategic asset. No beautiful strategies that gather dust. No deliverables that require a team you don't have to maintain. I work as a strategic partner to leadership and communications—not a vendor who needs to be managed.

My approach

  • Solutions-focused: I tailor every engagement to your organization's unique context and capacity

  • Equity-centred: I bring broad community experience and centre the voices of those closest to the issues

  • Strategic: I treat communications as a business function that advances your mission

  • Hope-based: I develop messaging that helps envision the future you want to see

  • Transparent: I quote fixed project prices with no surprises
