A senior communications partner in your corner.

If you wish you had another senior person to think with—someone who understands communications, knows your organization and can get up to speed quickly—let’s explore a Strategic Advisory relationship.

I work alongside leaders as an ongoing thought partner, advisor and experienced extra set of hands. As we work together, I get to know your organization and the context around your work, so we can spend less time on background and more time on what matters. You can bring the questions you’re wrestling with, the ideas you want to gut-check, the draft that isn’t quite there, or the request that just came in from the CEO and needs attention.

Sometimes a quick 10 or 20-minute conversation is enough to help you feel confident about the way forward. Other times, I roll up my sleeves and help do the work.

Think together. Then get things done.

I can help you think through priorities, decisions and communications strategy; offer an outside perspective; challenge an assumption; notice something you may want to pay attention to; and help figure out what deserves your attention.

And when thinking turns into work, I can help there, too. From shaping a stronger narrative or communications plan, to writing in an executive’s voice, developing thought leadership and executive visibility platforms, building or expanding a media strategy, reaching out to journalists and stakeholders, securing media coverage, editing an important story, or helping get a sensitive communication out the door.

The mix is different for every client. You get an experienced communications partner who knows your world, tells you what she thinks and helps you move forward.

A little support or a lot.

Some clients want a thought partner with a modest amount of hands-on support. Others need meaningful additional communications capacity. And sometimes Light becomes an extension of your team, helping lead and execute significant parts of the program.

Strategic Advisory engagements begin at $3,500/month and can expand to $15,000+, depending on the level of counsel and hands-on support you need.

We’ll shape the relationship around what will actually be most useful to you.
