If they have to work to understand what you do or why it matters, they will not stay long enough to discover how good you actually are. When that happens, it is rarely a brand or design problem. It is a thinking problem. And when the thinking is thin, no amount of copy or visual polish will save it. This is the gap I work in. I help teams fix the thinking underneath their brand and marketing decisions, before they rush into execution. In practice, that means turning fuzzy ideas into clear positioning, then translating that thinking into strategic assets teams can actually use: websites, landing pages, sales decks, and messaging systems that hold up under pressure. With nearly 15 years of experience as a brand strategist, I have guided more than 60 brands, from billion-dollar organizations to early-stage startups, by tightening the logic first and letting every asset follow from it. ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต Step 1. Deep discovery -- where I look at buyer judgment, market perception, and internal misalignment to find where your brand is currently losing its way. Step 2. Positioning & your edge -- We identify the specific space that makes you the obvious choice for your ideal client. Step 3. Messaging backbone -- I develop an actionable, ready-to-execute system that is ready to be put in action. Step 4. Execution -- I translate the strategy into high-impact communication. This includes conversion copywriting for landing pages, sales decks that persuade, and website messaging that speaks directly to your audienceโs needs. ๐ ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ ๐ต๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐ โฃ 60+ brands guided through high-level positioning and narrative revamps. โฃ 150+ Customer & Stakeholder Interviews to ground strategy in real-world data. โฃ Former CMO experience that allows me to see your brand through a business lens. โฃ 400+ landing pages written that on average 2x conversions โ "๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐ'๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐. ๐บ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ . ๐บ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ." - Andrรฉ Borrel, Concentric โ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป If youโre looking for someone who asks the hard questions first, Iโm your person.

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.
Hereโs 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 shortlist communication strategy professionals

- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what itโs 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, itโs time to write that job post. Although you donโt need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโre the right fit for the project.

- Scope of work: From buyer personas to communications guidelines, list all the deliverables youโll need.

FAQS FOR HIRING COMMUNICATION STRATEGISTS
Frequently asked questions
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.
