How I Work
Transparency is key - so here’s what I do and what it costs up front.
Every engagement starts with the same questions: what is changing, how is that shift impacting your team and your business? I provide the same level of client service to accounts large and small: responsive, strategic, and results-oriented. In practice, that means I will own both strategy and execution as your single point of contact, including a two-business-day response standard, a strict timeline of deliverables, and two consolidated rounds of revision to ensure the end product hits it out of the park.
The majority of my work is billed as retainer monthly in advance with a 90-day initial trial term, 30 days' notice after that.
For project-based work, 50% at signature, 50% at midpoint. Travel billed separately.
I don't guarantee media placements — anyone who does is selling something outside of their control.
Change Narrative Diagnostic
Two weeks · $7,500
For teams who know the story isn't landing but can't name where it's breaking.
Eight to ten stakeholder interviews, an audit of what you're currently saying across every channel, a map of where audiences are hearing different things, a stakeholder matrix, and a 90-minute leadership readout with a prioritized plan.
You leave with a clear diagnosis and a sequence. If you book the sprint within 14 days, I credit $2,000 toward it.
Narrative + Communications Operating System Sprint
Four to five weeks · from $12,500
For companies in a defined change who need both the story and the machinery to run it.
Includes the diagnostic, a leadership narrative workshop, the corporate narrative architecture and proof points, a stakeholder message matrix, a 90-day channel and calendar plan, an executive and media platform, clear decision rights for who approves what, working templates, an AI-assisted research and QA workflow, and a measurement dashboard.
You leave with a story your leadership team has agreed on and a system your team can actually run. Engagements involving M&A, restructuring, or multiple markets start at $15,000.
Fractional Head of Change Communications
Four to six month minimum · from $8,000/month
For companies going through something significant without a senior communications owner.
I own the integrated communications plan for the change: the leadership cadence, internal and external messaging, executive counsel, media strategy and issues readiness, agency and vendor coordination, and measurement. Senior work done by the senior person — no junior handoffs.
Up to 36 hours a month at $8,000; up to 50 hours at $10,500. A lighter counsel tier is available at $4,500/month for companies that need judgment more than capacity.
Also Available
Executive Narrative Workshop — two weeks, $5,000 remote / $7,500 on-site. Pre-interviews, a half-day workshop, a narrative spine, five proof points, Q&A red-teaming, and a 30-day activation plan.
Communications Automation + Governance Build — three to four weeks, $10,000–$15,000. Workflow mapping, media research and QA systems, approval paths, a prompt and process library, Make/Zapier or Workspace automation, a human-review policy, and team training.
