Services
The vast majority of services are provided by me as the sole proprietor of Catherine Taylor Communications. Plus, I have a trustworthy national collective of independent designers, photographers, videographers, and other specialists who are available to become part of our engagements as we need them.
Long-Term Partnerships
In long-term collaborations, I serve as the part-time, typically remote communications head for nonprofits, small businesses, and entrepreneurs. This is ideal for organizations with no in-house communications expert and a need to have a seasoned voice at the table. In these robust partnerships, you can expect me to integrate with your team, serve as an advisor to leadership, develop strategy, and handle projects hands-on.
Brand Communications
In both long-term and short-term engagements, I offer comprehensive brand communication strategy. These engagements begin with establishing your brand voice (such as core values, motto, messaging, and/or customer promise). They continue into editorial strategy, story writing, PR, and community or employee relations. If you have internal team members who are responsible for one of more of these areas, collaborations between us are typical.
Strategy Consultation
Sometimes, you just need a small push in the right direction. Strategy consultations are best for organizations that have an internal team prepared to handle a specific plan of action that’s developed for them. These strategy engagements last about a week and can easily be conducted with videoconferencing and other remote communication, if needed. I’ll get up to speed on a specific communication or marketing goal you need met, learn what you’ve tried to date, inquire about the current team roles/capabilities, blend that knowledge in with some of my own research and creativity, and return to you a tailored plan.
Ad Hoc Projects
Annual reports. Event planning and day-of event management. PR campaigns. Website content. Promotions and campaigns. The list could go on. My 18 years of experience is vast and I have worked with numerous industries, subject areas, and organization types/sizes. One of the greatest joys of my profession is the variation in my client engagements. No week, month, or year is the same — and that drives me. If you have a project of any length that would benefit from fresh perspective, an experienced pair of hands, and a personality dedicated to teamwork and shared wins, let’s talk!
