Capabilities

  • Strategic Planning

    From stakeholder interviews to a plan that’s ready for the public, we create and coordinate a customized process that will guide your organization to its next set of objectives. Marie brings experience in needs assessment, competitor/market research, change management, and corporate social responsibility — and pulls from all of them to help you create a truly integrated strategy that will guide your business in the right direction for years to come.

  • Program Development

    Great programs don’t just happen; they require an assessment of needs, realistic allocation of resources, collaboration with internal and external partners, and consistent evaluation and assessment. Marie gathers information through deep listening and curious questioning, presents possibilities for partnerships, considers every element a program needs to be effective, and enhances the offerings that make your business unique — to create powerful insights and deliver the desired results.

  • Strategic Communications

    When you’ve got important messaging to share with internal teams or the external community, it’s essential to design and implement a plan that coordinates the elements and produces clarity — not questions. Marie’s strategy increases the inclusion of information that readers unfamiliar with the subject or organization need to know. She unifies communications across multiple platforms — strengthening internal culture while getting the word out to the community.

We collaborate with a growing network of clients, partners, and colleagues. We’ve earned their trust by delivering high-impact work using innovative practices.  It adds up to a game changing strategy that sticks.
