Telling your story.
Expanding your impact.

Meade Strategic Communications is focused on serving those who serve others.

We take tried and true creative marketing and communications strategies and apply them to nonprofits, small businesses and small government entities. Why? Telling your story increases your capacity to help, whether by reaching more clients, by breaking down barriers with collaborators, or by connecting with funders. You’ve got your hands full doing the work and walking the journey. Let us handle telling the story.

Strategic communications means working backward
from behavior to message

Most people start with the message. It makes sense! It’s what you know. It’s who you are. But at Meade Strategic Communications, we start with the end in mind. What do you want your message to influence people to DO? From there, we work backward, identifying the distinct stakeholders you’re looking to reach and finding the best way to get your message to them. That means a customized Strategic Communications Plan, just for you, and it means personalized services that fit that plan. What are your goals? Let’s reach them together.

Your story is the message. Let’s tell it.
But let’s make sure it’s heard.

Behaviors

This is the end goal of a Strategic Communications Plan. What do you want people to DO?

Audiences

Also known as ‘stakeholders,’ these folks are the heart of the work.
They’re who we want to connect with.

Platforms

This is where we find your people and talk to them. We’ll help you ensure you maximize these spaces for good.

Content

This is what the message becomes when we fit it to the Platforms in ways that will connect with each Audience.

Doing good is a journey, and you’re going to need help. Don’t underestimate the value of the storyteller

The bard; the speechwriter; the author; the publisher…the great acts of history have always been brought to the people by storytellers. Whether you’re helping your own people understand your “Why,” connecting with clients who need you even if they don’t know it, engaging with funders who want to amplify your efforts, or collaborating with partners who can multiply your impact, it’s never been more important to tell your story in a compelling way.

let’s work together

I hear what you’re saying:
“Enough talk. How do you do it? What will you do for me?”

Fair enough. Here’s what we’ll do for you.

1. Create a powerful Strategic Communications Plan that takes your broader agency goals, identifies the people who will have to act in order for them to come to pass, determines how to connect with those people, crafts a message to influence change, and creates content that carries that message to the people who need to hear it.

2. Execute that plan. That may involve the following:
-Social media management
-Video production
-Photography
-Newsletter writing
-Media relations and submissions
-Event strategy
-Graphical content creation
