BRING YOUR IDEAS. WE’LL BUILD THE STRATEGY.

Sometimes you know exactly what you need — a communications plan, a media strategy, an event, a campaign, a grant.

Other times, you know where you want to go but aren't quite sure how to get there.

EMPRESS works both ways.

I partner with organizations to turn ideas, challenges, and opportunities into thoughtful strategy and meaningful action — bringing together communications, storytelling, relationships, creativity, and hands-on execution to move the work forward.

Not sure exactly what you need? Just ask.

  • Build the plan before you build the noise.

    Good communication starts with knowing what you're trying to accomplish, who needs to hear from you, and what will actually move them.

    EMPRESS helps organizations see the bigger picture and build communications around it — from a single initiative to an organization-wide strategy.

    Projects & capabilities: Communications planning • Messaging & positioning • Campaign strategy • Executive communications • Crisis communications • Issues management • Communications audits • Strategic counsel

  • Find the story. Shape the message. Build visibility with purpose.

    Getting attention isn't the same as communicating effectively. EMPRESS helps organizations identify the stories worth telling and build the strategy to get them in front of the right people.

    Projects & capabilities: Public relations strategy • Media relations • Press releases & media materials • Media messaging • Media training & preparation • Reputation management • Thought leadership • Launches & announcements

  • Build meaningful relationships around the work.

    Some goals can't be accomplished through communications alone. They require trust, participation, collaboration, and the right people at the table.

    EMPRESS helps organizations identify, reach, and meaningfully engage the people and partners who can help move an idea forward.

    Projects & capabilities: Community engagement strategy • Stakeholder engagement • Partnership development • Public affairs support • Community outreach • Public meetings & forums • Facilitation • Engagement campaigns

  • Create with intention.

    More content isn't the goal. Better communication is.

    EMPRESS helps organizations build sustainable content and digital strategies rooted in purpose — what you're saying, who you're saying it to, where you're saying it, and how you'll know whether it's working.

    Projects & capabilities: Social media strategy • Social media audits • Content strategy • Editorial planning • Campaign development • Storytelling • Communications analytics • Performance reviews

  • Create something people remember.

    The best events do more than fill a room. They tell a story, bring people together, create moments of connection, and move an organization's larger goals forward.

    EMPRESS can help shape the experience from the first idea through the final message — making sure the strategy, story, audience, and execution all work together.

    Projects & capabilities: Event strategy • Event planning & management • Launches • Community events • Public events • Program development • Event communications & promotion • Scripts & remarks • Run-of-show development • Guest & stakeholder experience

  • Turn good work into a story worth investing in.

    Strong grant applications do more than answer questions. They connect an organization's work, its community, its outcomes, and its vision into a compelling case for support.

    EMPRESS helps organizations translate good work into clear, persuasive narratives that demonstrate both need and potential.

    Projects & capabilities: Grant writing • Grant narratives • Impact storytelling • Program descriptions • Organizational messaging • Supporting communications

  • SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY?

    Some projects don't fit neatly into a service category — and that's often where things get interesting.

    Maybe you have an opportunity you want to explore. A partnership that needs the right approach. A big idea without a plan yet. A complicated problem that could use another perspective. Or something you've been trying to explain that begins with:

    “Okay, so I have this idea…”

    Perfect.

    EMPRESS was built for strategic thinking, creative problem-solving, and figuring out what comes next.

    JUST ASK.
