  • Expertise. Execution. Impact.

    Strategic Communications
    Aligning communications with organizational priorities to achieve meaningful, measurable outcomes, such as campaign communication plans or multi-year communication plans.
    In action: We developed a one-year communications and marketing plan for a new nonprofit, which boosted awareness of its mission, educated stakeholders about its resources, and engaged target audiences with tailored messaging and targeted tactics.

    Thought Leadership
    Positioning leaders and organizations as trusted voices shaping conversations that matter through opeds, LinkedIn content and speaking submissions.
    In action: We manage weekly LinkedIn content for a CEO, develop and place op-eds, and secure speaking opportunities to position the leader as a recognized voice in their field.

    Messaging and Content
    Turning complex ideas into compelling narratives that engage diverse audiences from messaging frameworks and taglines to blogs, speeches, fact sheets, and social media toolkits.
    In action: We developed a messaging framework for a health foundation, including a tagline, elevator speech, and core messages, that unified staff and strengthened external outreach.

    Grant Writing, Proposal Development and Award Applications
    Crafting persuasive content to secure funding, recognition, and resources to advance organizational priorities, including grant narratives, proposals, and award applications.
    In action: We developed a successful grant application to increase funding for a local nonprofit and wrote an award nomination to elevate a leader’s visibility within the community.

    Public and Media Relations
    Building visibility, credibility, and trust through earned media and strategic campaigns, from press releases and advisories to media pitching and executive media training.
    In action: We wrote and pitched a media advisory that secured placements in regional event calendars and increased attendance at a local festival. Our media relationships encompass local and national outlets, including The Baltimore Banner and The Washington Post.

    Crisis and Change Communications
    Providing counsel and frameworks to navigate sensitive moments with clarity and confidence, including crisis plans, protocols, and change management communication strategies.
    In action: We created a crisis communications plan for a national foundation, equipping leaders with clear protocols to protect their reputation and respond effectively under pressure.

Testimonials

“KP Communications created a messaging framework that is clear, compelling, and consistent, giving us a stronger voice across all platforms. Kristen also crafted impactful grant applications to increase our funding. With her guidance, our social media presence is more engaging than ever in just a few months (including a 45% rise in Facebook link clicks), helping us reach more families who need our support.”

-The Focus Foundation

“KP Communications came on board just four weeks before our annual fundraising event, but it soon felt like we'd been working with her for ages. Kristen got a handle on the event logistics quickly and kept a handle on them: Nothing fell through the cracks. She saved money for our small nonprofit by creatively sourcing materials and supplies, and came up with new ideas to help create a good experience for our guests. She brought unflappable, calming energy to a high-pressure day.”
