It also includes recommendations to help you analyze your audience in greater depth and fine-tune your core messaging and communication strategy. Starting at $5,000 plus HST.

Use the hours for strategic planning, content review or creation, coaching, or preparation for high-stakes situations, such as funder meetings.
