Fractional Marketing and Communications Leader and “Doer”
Hi! After a deep dive into business turnarounds, I’m finally getting back to my roots in non-profit management — specifically in the area of marketing and communications.
For the next year (2026-2027), I am eager to work with nonprofit organizations that need anything from “just the basics” to more elaborate and branding and marketing projects.
- I can serve as your fractional marketing officer/manager to create strategy or simply “get lots of stuff done” as you search for your full-time solution.
- Over 30 years of marketing and communications experience for a wide range of organization types and sizes, including nonprofits, academia, municipalities, and government.
- A background in journalism and other modes of storytelling (author of two novels) to highlight what makes an organization’s mission special: press releases, blogs, videos, social media, and websites.
- Comfortable with social media, multimedia, web, and video production; I work with ad agencies, graphic designers, and other creative vendors to get your projects done on time, within-budget and to specification.
- Able to leverage AI tools where it makes sense, always prioritizing authenticity of your organization’s voice.
- Experienced in the rebranding of nonprofit organizations and programs; curriculum design; and grant writing.
- “I promise to collaborate effectively with your nonprofit’s staff, leadership, and clients to expand impact!”
I can work remotely with any organization or hybrid/remote with organizations in North Carolina. Please reach out to schedule a conversation through this website’s contact form or directly:
