    For companies who are looking for a blend of experience, skill, detail-oriented, and high-quality work, look no further. With an extensive background as a professional PR Pro and several years as a successful consultant behind me, my unique perspective has aided private, public, government, non-profit, and start-up companies with successful long-term communication plans. My goal has always been to assist organizations in innovating, communicating, developing, and growing all aspects of public relations. In this growth process, I build communication campaigns, strategize public relations tactics, create crisis communication plans, and implement influential and measurable programs with long-term goals. Having been in the PR industry more than 12 years, I have assisted large and small organizations position themselves in a competitive market. Skilled at securing earned media on the local, regional, and national circuit, I make each article count and back up your publicity with communication plans that make a significant long-term impact. Couple that with a solid PR campaign, social media marketing, thought leadership, and a thorough communication analysis, and you have a recipe for success! Flexible, innovative, and quick on my feet, I have learned to work well under pressure, push myself to consistently meet deadlines, and focus on the fine details that define your organization. I am a personable, outgoing, strategic, and critical thinker. I bring passion, excitement, and value to all the projects I work on, because I love my work and am inspired by positive results. I add to the team environment by considering all thoughts and opinions and developing plans that unite vision and direction. So what are my strong suits? I have been called "grammatically passionate" and I love technical and creative writing. I have an investigative reporter mindset, which enables me to ask the right questions and develop communication plans that work. I take more time to learn the elements of your organization and cater to your target market with consideration to organizational needs and weaknesses. In 2014, I received my master’s degree in strategic public relations from George Washington University in Washington DC and worked at the local, regional, and national level to assist government agencies develop talking points, media kits, and press releases.

    Grow your brand, your business, and the value you bring to the world. I am an award-winning strategist who, after 20+ years in the Canadian agency and corporate world, decided to take my experience and diverse skillset abroad to become a location-independent Marketing Strategy Consultant based in beautiful, healthy Bali. My professional specialty: creating memorable brand strategies and stories that lead to high-ROI campaigns for small business and startup brands, acting as the virtual Head of Marketing/Fractional CMO for many of my clients. My client portfolio includes global SMBs ranging from the health & wellness industry to PPC agencies, brick and mortar shops and eCommerce brands. Some highlights from my consultancy work include: * A 20% increase in sales across all channels, 39% increase in email marketing subscribers, and over 1,450 unique visits for a Canadian organic multivitamin company within the first month of relaunch. The relaunch included a full brand repositioning, brand campaign and aggressive digital marketing strategy implementation. * A 63% increase in total paying subscriptions across all pricing plans for a Canadian online health & wellness client that included a full brand repositioning and relaunch campaign across digital (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, content, email, website, PPC). * A near 7x ROAS for an international annual sporting event held in The French Alps. Due to COVID-19, the client had limited expectations for signups and registrations, but in just under three weeks we registered eight new teams and drove more than 4,800 visits to the event website. * A six-week social Lead Generation Campaign for a Canadian CrossFit gym that resulted in 220 new leads, of which 25% (55) became recurring paying members within five weeks after submitting the original form via social or the main website. * A three-week Content Marketing Campaign for an American academic consultant, sensibly and compassionately designed/executed during the Covid-19 pandemic to help ease the worries of parents, resulting in 115 Leads and a 3,780% increase in new users to the company website. * An increase in ROAS from 1.5x to 4x within five weeks for an eCommerce brand through a strategic Google Shopping Campaign using Shopify and Google Merchant Centre/Google Ads

    I’m a Strategist, Impact Innovator, Thought Partner, and Coach. I'm agile, both a thinker and doer, and seamlessly flow among levels to fill the gaps between vision and execution: • 30,000 feet: innovative strategy and tenacious creativity • 10,000 feet: management planning and tactical leadership • Boots on the ground: tangible, iterative action; bring it to life. ----- My Super Powers: I unlock potential (in people and ideas) by harnessing the power of the two F's: FINANCE + FEELINGS. I joke that I’m a cross between BRENÉ BROWN... • Sharp, relatable (and sometimes comedic) analysis of our social psychological dynamics at play in any interaction, individually and collectively in our organizations, for the purpose of empowering, coaching, and journeying WITH you. AND SHARK TANK... • Business savvy and tenacious strategic creativity to bring entrepreneurial and financial solutions to life through innovative early-stage investment, business development, and landscape analysis. ----- CORE INDUSTRIES: • Impact Investing (values-aligned investment strategy) • Social Enterprise (entrepreneurship, new initiative launch) • Catalytic Philanthropy (creative funding models for social impact) • Financial Sustainability (business modeling, development strategy) ----- HOW I CAN HELP YOU: An overview of the hats I can wear to take you from idea through launch, from concept to tangibility, or from good to even better. I serve those DEPLOYING ASSETS (impact investors, foundations, family offices, etc.) and those BUILDING SOLUTIONS (start-up entrepreneurs, social enterprises, non-profit executives, visionary individuals, etc.). 1) EXECUTIVE STRATEGY COUNSEL Leadership can be lonely. With C-Suite expertise and being an innovative entrepreneurial thinker, I can be your executive sounding board and coach. 2) LAUNCH STRATEGIST Starting something new (program, initiative, venture)? I can turn that idea into action, and get the ball rolling. Now. 3) FINANCIAL IMPACT & INVESTMENT STRATEGIST Do you have capital that you want to activate toward a cause? I can help you get started or navigate the menu of creative financial structures. 4) PITCH COACH I’ve been a seed state investor and vetted over 600 global enterprises across sectors in one year alone. I can demystify behind the curtain in investors’ and funders’ minds. ----- Some of my NOTABLE VENTURES: • Currently building a community venture accelerator and funding platform in my hometown of Atlanta with an intentional focus on low-income entrepreneurs, especially single mothers. • Co-founded a $5.5 Million global impact investment portfolio with a focus on empowering underserved women--including the investment thesis, social impact thesis, global pipeline across 5 continents, virtual due diligence process, and post-investment advisory for a private foundation seeking to deploy direct private investments of up to $250,000 USD across multiple sectors and emerging markets. In one year alone, I recruited and vetted over 600 global ventures for investment consideration. This portfolio continues running today by my co-founder and makes early-stage investments across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. • Founding team and program creator for a high-profile public-private partnership between the U.S. and Japanese governments and private industry following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake to revitalize the region hit by the devastating tsunami. This partnership and its programs continue today with high-level access on Capitol Hill, the Japanese Parliament, and among Fortune 500 companies. ----- MORE ABOUT ME: I’m committed to empowering human potential, my own included. I’m a natural connector and catalyst, of people and ideas. From my own journey, I can relate to the deep satisfaction, self-confidence, and societal good that arises when you can remove the blockers (whether emotional, logistical, or financial) to being able to express the compassion that lives in your heart tangibly out in the world. Whether struggling to scale your business, tackling a need you see in your community, or aligning your financial capital with your personal values and interests, all these paths begin with caring about something enough to want to try to help. I can help you convert that feeling of CARE into effective ACTION. I thrive in navigating the ambiguity and risk (and exciting possibility) at the early stages of launching new programs, product lines, businesses, investment deals, and career/industry pivots. With my deep compassion for helping others (Enneagram #2) and tenacious strategic creativity, I want to journey with you to catalyze your ideas and impact in the world. ----- MY VALUES: My relationships with clients are like all relationships I cherish in my personal life, built on trust. I value integrity, authenticity, transparency, deep listening, and self-awareness. If I’m not the right person to help you, I’ll do my best to point you elsewhere.

    I’ve built a career in strategy (Google, Bain & Co.), and as such, I have spent more time in PowerPoint and Google Slides than any normal human should. Somehow though, I still enjoy reviewing, improving, and building presentations. —MY EXPERIENCE— My work at Bain has gone to boards, C-level executives, and executive committees at Fortune 500 / FTSE 100 companies. At Google my materials are seen by VPs and above. As a freelancer (on the side), I’ve worked directly with start-up founders preparing for their seed round, Fortune 500 executives preparing content to present to their C-suite and board, and everything in between. (See portfolio for some illustrative examples.) —MY APPROACH— I think of my presentation work as building LEGOs - typically you supply the content (the LEGO pieces), with some ideas as to what you want, then I go away and build an organized, creative deck with a coherent storyline that will help you land your message. I consider your audience and what they care about, and I consider you as the presenter and build decks to make sure the connection between the two is optimal. —MY PROCESS— I am typically very collaborative. You send materials, we have an initial call, then I put together a first draft that you can react to. We then have a calibration call, and then we go back and forth with iterations until the deck is perfect. I’m not done until we are both absolutely confident that your pitch deck / board presentation / sales presentation / etc. is a winner. —MY VALUE— I am someone who will challenge you. My value add is not just transactional slide building. My real value is as a partner and advisor on a project. If I think your deck is too long, I’ll tell you. If your proposed storyline is confusing, I’ll advise you. Where we disagree, I commit to explaining my viewpoint and then committing to whatever you, as the client, ultimately decide.

    Most of my recent success has been in SaaS discipline working with organizations in the Business Development area and to onboard external groups such as customers, influencers, affiliates, and resellers. I have also managed and worked closely with sales and marketing teams and even been that department for some. Hands-on experience in the implementation of marketing strategies to include direct and indirect sales development. I am well-versed in digital marketing and the traditional marketing concepts of lead generation, advertising, and public relations. As an example, I am very capable of helping, evaluating and implementing a social media strategy. I have over 21,000 LinkedIn connections and Twitter followers, etc. Compare my social presence to any others you are interviewing. If the rate is the only thing that prevents you from talking to me, please let's have a conversation. You should understand everything I bring to the table. Please review my Upwork Profile and the projects below the profiles for different ways we can engage to achieve your desired outcomes. A few areas of interest: 1. Started a company with 2 file cabinets and created a 5 million dollar company in 3-years, sold it in 5-years to my largest distributor. 2. Took over a 1.6 million dollar company and left 6-years later when it was at 12 million and paid out 6 to 7-figure profits on an annual basis. 3. Worked for a SaaS company in Precision Ag that grew 3-fold in the 18 months I was associated with it in the capacity of Business Development. 4. Worked with IT Companies, E-commerce, and other Cloud-based companies. 5. Developed and implemented workflow engagements for lead generation, support platforms (like Zen Desk) and onboarding user programs. 6. Worked with a variety of Professional Services to include Information Technology, Microsoft Partners, Real Estate, Financial, Quality, Medical, and others. Have you asked yourself these questions: 1. Is the product compelling to the target customer? 2. Is it easy to use? 3. Is the product truly differentiated? Can I explain the differentiation in two minutes? 4. Who is the competition? Why will this product succeed against them? 5. If you have no competition, how will customers compare? What will they choose? 6. Are the product’s strengths consistent with what’s important to the customers? Are we positioning these strengths as aggressively as possible? 7. Is the product worth the money? Why? Can customers get it cheaper elsewhere? 8. Have you made a list of the pain points or opportunities that your product solves or provides your customers? Do you know your customers? My conversations do not center on personas, link bait, and manipulation. You don't change mindsets in an auto-responder. It is conversations about real people, moments, patterns, and opportunities. Starting this way allows the qualitative to guide the quantitative that old USA principle: Understand, Simplify, then Automate. Let me know if you have an interest in pursuing. Thanks for reading, Joe

How to Hire Top Communication Strategists

COMMUNICATION STRATEGISTS

What is a communication strategy? 

A communication strategy is a formal plan for facilitating communication both inside and outside an organization.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in communication strategy professionals:

  • Communication strategy
  • Public relations (PR)
  • Business writing

Why do you want to hire communication strategists?

The trick to finding top communication strategists is to identify your needs. Is your goal to find someone to develop a strategy for ramping up publicity as part of a PR campaign? Or are you seeking to create internal communications guidelines between management and personnel to foster an open company culture? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

HOW TO HIRE COMMUNICATION STRATEGISTS

Whether it’s setting communications guidelines for managers engaging with their sales staff or developing an action plan for PR, communication strategists are here to help.

So how do you hire communication strategists? What follows are some tips for finding top communication strategists on Upwork.

How to shortlist communication strategy professionals

As you’re browsing available communication strategy consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry. You want a communication strategist who is familiar with the terminology and tone that work best with your industry.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., performing market research to fine-tune your marketing communications).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular communication strategist.

How to write an effective communication strategy job post

With a clear picture of your ideal communication strategist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective communication strategy job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From buyer personas to communications guidelines, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, technologies, or marketing tools, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

FAQS FOR HIRING COMMUNICATION STRATEGISTS

How much does it cost to hire a communication strategist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced communication strategist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their communication strategy services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.

How long should you contract a communication strategist to complete your project?

As difficult as it is to estimate how long you will need a communication strategist, budgeting time is very important to keeping your project on track.

Be prepared to budget more time for more-demanding communication strategy projects. For example, developing internal communication guidelines between human resources and staff will typically take less time than creating a versatile messaging guide for a large multichannel marketing campaign.

What are the steps involved to hire communication strategists?

Here’s how to hire communication strategy consultants in four simple steps:

  1. Identify your project needs, whether it’s market research or writing communications guidelines.
  2. Define the scope of work and write a detailed job post. Be specific about deliverables (e.g., writing a communication strategy for engaging with the press).
  3. Review proposals and shortlist potential communication strategists for unique skills needed to bring your project to life (e.g., interviewing focus groups to gain insight into the type of messaging that resonates best with a market segment).
  4. Interview communication strategy talent to gauge whether they’re the right fit for your project.
