You have a team executing. What's missing is the strategy behind it.
Your team is executing, posting, sending emails, and designing, but without someone developing the strategy behind it, the goals never get met. We step in at the leadership level to align how your organization communicates, operates, and shows up, so your message is connected across every touchpoint and moves you closer towards your fundraising and impact goals.
ONE PERSON IS THE BOTTLE NECK
Here's how you know you need communications leadership support...
Fundraising needs assets, program staff need assets, and everything routes through the one person who knows the brand.
Your biggest campaigns Giving Tuesday or your annual gala — gets planned in the two weeks before they happen.
You have brand guidelines now, but nobody has time to roll them out consistently across the team.
Marketing is happening across social media and internal operations but nobody can say whether it's working.
Your team can execute. But they shouldn't also have to set the strategy, build the calendar, and keep everyone aligned.
What does a Fractional CCO do?
A chief communications officer sets the direction, decides what gets said and when, equips the team and systems to deliver the message consistently, and measures for whether it worked.
Fractional means you get the function, not the headcount — a senior partner at your leadership table for a set amount of time each month, with no recruiting, benefits, or turnover risk.
Every engagement runs on our 4P Brand Alignment System™, so your purpose, presence, processes, and people stay aligned as you grow.
Monthly retainer · Two tiers based on your needs
DO THE MATH
A fraction of the cost of hiring.
A communications director runs $85,000 to $120,000 a year before benefits, recruiting, or the risk that they leave in eighteen months. You get the strategy, the systems, and the accountability at a fraction of that, with no headcount to carry. And your team gets stronger, not more dependent. Everything we build stays with you: the strategy, calendar, the messaging, the templates.
HOW IT WORKS
Four things that change in the first 90 days.
01
Content Calendar
Internal and external, shared, so everyone knows what's going out and when their deadline is.
02
One Key Message
Messaging your whole team uses, so three people sending the same ask say the same thing.
03
Templates For Every Use
Built on your guidelines, so staff produce on-brand work without routing it through one person.
04
Numbers for Your Board
What went out, what performed, what changes next quarter — reported, not guessed at.

TWO TIER LEVELS & SCOPE OPTIONS
We offer two tiers: Campaign or Leadership Tier, based on how much of the communications function you need. Campaign partnerships center on a specific moment: a year-end push, a gala, a program launch. Leadership partnerships cover ongoing strategy across the whole year, with the systems, governance, and quarterly scorecards to match. We'll scope what's best for your needs on your discovery call.
What our clients have to say:
"I came in pretty hot and heavy, a lot of requests, but they made it easy. I felt heard. The vision came out better than what I expected."
