I help nonprofits tell their stories to important audiences through strategic communications, media relations and content creation. My services include crisis communications, media relations, media training, strategy development, message development, writing and editing, and communications planning for organizations as a whole or for an advocacy effort, fundraising campaign, or program project. I create content across platforms, including annual reports, newsletters and brochures; opinion pieces, letters to the editor, and press releases. I work collaboratively, with respect for organizational culture, history, and expertise. Please learn more at www.carisacunningham.com.
