I’m a Brand Strategist specializing in brand strategy, brand positioning, brand messaging and content strategy for companies with valuable offers that are hard to explain. I help founders, startups, consultants and growing companies clarify what their brand stands for, define a stronger position in the market, and build messaging that makes their offer easier to understand, trust and choose. If your product, service or expertise is strong but difficult to explain clearly, I can help you turn that complexity into a clear brand strategy, positioning strategy, messaging framework, website messaging and content direction. WHAT I CAN HELP WITH: → Brand Strategy Clarify your brand foundations, audience, differentiation, value proposition, narrative and strategic direction. → Brand Positioning Define a clear and differentiated position so your brand becomes easier to understand, remember and choose. → Brand Messaging Build a brand messaging framework that connects your positioning, value proposition, narrative, proof points, key messages and tone of voice. → Website Messaging Structure your homepage, service pages and website content so visitors quickly understand who you are, what you offer and why it matters. → Content Strategy Create content pillars, communication themes and editorial direction so your brand knows what to say and how to say it consistently. → Brand Audit & Clarity Sprint Identify where your current brand, messaging or website is losing clarity and define the strategic improvements needed. TYPICAL PROJECTS INCLUDE: • Brand Strategy • Brand Positioning • Brand Messaging • Messaging Frameworks • Website Messaging • Content Strategy • Brand Audits • Value Proposition Development • Brand Narrative • Communication Strategy • Founder Positioning • B2B Brand Strategy • SaaS Brand Messaging • Service Brand Positioning WHAT MAKES MY APPROACH DIFFERENT: Most brands try to fix communication by redesigning, rewriting or posting more content. But the real issue is often strategic: unclear positioning, weak messaging structure, scattered content direction or a brand story that people do not understand quickly enough. I build practical brand strategy and messaging systems that connect positioning, narrative, website messaging and content strategy, so your brand communicates with more clarity, consistency and direction. This means: • Clearer positioning • Stronger brand messaging • Better website and content structure • More consistent communication • Faster decision-making • A brand strategy your team can actually use If your brand has value but lacks clarity in how it shows up, send me a message. I’m happy to take a look and walk you through how I’d approach your case.

EXECUTIVE VIRTUAL ASSISTANT PRODUCTIVITY ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER ADHD ENTREPRENEURS CREATIVE BUSY PROFESSIONAL OPERATION FUNCTIONS ADMIN SUPPORT ADHD SYSTEMS DESIGN. THE PROBLEM YOU'RE FACING: So you've built something real but somewhere between vision and execution, you got stuck managing chaos hence, Your inbox has 2,000+ unread messages. Your calendar is impossible to manage. You context-switch 40+ times per day. Your team waits for your decisions. Your business growth is capped by YOUR availability. To be sincere you don't need another administrative assistant filing emails but an operational partner who structures everything so you can focus on what actually grows your business. HERE'S WHAT CHANGES: I will not just manage tasks but rather build systems. Three core components: 1️⃣ OPERATIONAL RESTRUCTURING Audit current chaos (email, calendar, task management) Design custom system (just for your brain + business) Implement infrastructure (Notion, Click Up, Automation) Optimize continuously (what works, we scale; what doesn't, we kill) 2️⃣ EXECUTIVE FUNCTION SUPPORT Daily task prioritization (I order what matters) Real-time decision support (during critical work) Accountability structure (check-ins that drive completion) Friendly Systems that work with your ADHD, not against it 3️⃣ ADMINISTRATIVE EXECUTION Email management & inbox organization (zero overflow) Calendar optimization (protected focus time, strategic meetings) Project coordination & task tracking (clarity on what's happening) Workflow automation (Zapier, Make com, n8n) WHO I WORK WITH: You are: A founder/entrepreneur Availability, Accountability, Commitment Serious about scaling Ready to delegate (you can't do this alone) Coachable and willing to try new systems Frustrated with operations chaos (but not in survival panic) COMMON STRUGGLES: E ma il/Slack overwhelm (too many messages, no triage) Calendar chaos (meetings control your day) Task management confusion (unclear priority system) Context switching (too many interruptions) Admin overhead (eating 4+ hours/day) Team alignment issues (unclear decision-making) Looking to Growth (I give honest feedback) TOOLS & SYSTEMS: Notion, Google Workspace, Click Up, Asana, Zapier, Make com, n8n, G ma il, Monday com, slack pipe drive But Tools matter less than strategy. I design everything around YOUR workflow, YOUR brain, YOUR business model. If you're ready to free up 15+ hours per week and actually focus on what grows your business: Schedule a 20-minute discovery call where we'll discuss: 1. Your biggest operational bottleneck right now 2. What's it costing you exactly? 3. Whether I'm actually the right fit. There's no pitch on this call. Just honest conversation. You're not hiring a VA but you're hiring someone to make your personal life and business run better and Productive.

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.

  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.

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.
