Purposeful communications for purpose-driven organizations.
Services
Communications Strategy
Are your messages resonating with audiences? Are you thought leaders where it matters most? Together we can create the strategies and executional approaches that will make an impact.
Communications Support
Do you simply need a hand getting it all done? I can handle the big (calendar planning, content strategy, messaging frameworks) and the routine (media relations, annual reports, newsletters) quickly, at top quality.
Campaign, Project, Event Management
Need a point person for a coming event? Looking for someone to connect campaign goals to strategy, audiences and execution? I can lead or support, bringing stakeholders and vendors along.
Interim Staffing Support
Is your star communicator heading out on a leave? Are you between team members or working through a restructure? I can step in to ensure your communications (and audiences!) don't notice the transition.
Clients
You know those people who just get it? The ones who can operate with a skeletal or even nonexistent framework, no historical context, limited onboarding—and somehow still produce a great work product? That would be Alison. In mere days, she was able to get up to speed and not only keep the lights on and the engine humming, but offer strategic insights and guidance along the way. Super grateful to have her in my (and my clients') corner.

Hi. I'm Alison P. Griffin.
Hard work and conviction are in my bones. I’m the proud daughter of a railroad track laborer/retail stock supervisor and a social worker/teacher/coach. I believe in the social contract and the social safety net, like how free school lunch kept me nourished during a couple hard years.
Built on this foundation is 15+ years of strategic communications experience. Expertise in public relations, thought leadership, public affairs, content strategy, storytelling and copywriting, project and vendor management, people and team leadership, and more that I'd love to put toward advancing your good work.
Let's connect.
