How I Work
Transparency is key - so here’s what I do and what it costs up front. On the right, you’ll find projects I’ve tackled in the past with estimated pricing.
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.
Fractional Head of Change Communications
Four to six month minimum · from $8,000/month
For companies without a senior communications owner that need a single point of responsibility to take on both strategic and operational leadership. Often, this offering is a fit for venture-backed startups and mid-market companies that are growing, but don’t need a full-time CCO.
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 projects with a narrower SOW.
Change Narrative Diagnostic
Two weeks · $7,500
When you know that comms is broken, but don’t have visibility into what’s wrong and how to fix it.
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 detailed recommendation on addressing any issues. The following sprint engagement is a rapid-fire, systems-focused implementation of those recommendations. If we continue working together via a sprint within 14 days, I credit $2,000 of this initial diagnostic towards the cost.
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.
Executive Communications Workshop
Two weeks · $5,000 remote / $7,500 on-site.
Align your leadership team and maximize their impact on employees. Pre-interviews, a half-day workshop, an aligned narrative and supporting talking points (including five proof points), Q&A practice session/red-teaming, and a 30-day activation plan. Two weeks, $5,000 remote / $7,500 on-site.
