FRACTIONAL CCO
We take the seat.
Some organizations need a chief communications officer before they’re ready to hire one. We fill the role for as long as you need it.
Who this is for
Between hires
Your last communications lead left and the search will take months. Someone has to run the function in the meantime.
Before the first hire
You’ve never had a communications executive and the board is asking why. We build the function and hand it to whoever you hire next.
For a defined period
A campaign or a merger needs senior counsel for a set stretch, and you don’t want a permanent hire on the other side of it.
What the seat covers
Strategy
The communications plan, the priorities, and the calendar your organization works from.
Your CEO
Counsel before a decision goes public and prep before an interview.
Staff and agencies
We manage your communications team and the outside firms you’ve hired, and we tell you when you’re paying for something you don’t need.
Leadership and the board
We sit in your leadership meetings and prepare the communications report for your board.
How it works
We work a set number of days each week on your calendar, with your email address and in your meetings. Engagements run from the months between hires to a standing role over several years. When you’re ready to hire full time, we help you write the job and interview the candidates.
