Advisory services

Three ways to work together, depending on what you're facing and how much support you need.

Executive Communications Counsel

Ongoing, confidential advisory support for superintendents and senior leaders. This is not writing help. It is strategic counsel for the decisions that shape how your district is seen and trusted.

Included: Monthly strategy calls, on-call availability for time-sensitive questions, review of high-stakes communications before they go out, and support preparing for board meetings, media inquiries, and community concerns.

Not included: Day-to-day content production, such as writing every newsletter or managing your social media accounts. This is counsel, not staffing.

Retainer pricing

$2,500 – $6,000 / month

Scope depends on district size, availability needed, and complexity of current communications challenges. Invoiced monthly in advance.

Crisis Counsel

Direct, hands-on support when something has already gone wrong. A safety incident, a leadership departure, a viral moment, a decision that has divided your community. This is project-based, focused, and fast.

Included: Rapid response planning, message development, spokesperson preparation, and direct counsel through the acute phase of the situation.

Crisis project pricing

$3,000 – $8,000

Scoped to the situation. Available on short notice for existing and new clients.

Single Consult

A focused, one-time conversation for a specific decision. Useful when you need an outside perspective before you act, not an ongoing relationship.

Included: A confidential 60 to 90 minute session, a follow-up summary with recommendations, and email access for a short window afterward for clarifying questions.

Consult pricing

$500 – $1,200

A practical way to test fit before committing to a retainer.
