Sep 24, 2026 | Mission Possible

Please note: Nonprofit Austin is glad to share this resource with our community, but its inclusion should not be considered an endorsement of their services show here.

We’re pleased to highlight the work of one of our students, who is offering pro bono strategic communications consulting to support nonprofit organizations in our community. Below, he shares more about his experience, approach, and the type of support he hopes to provide.

Service Info:

I support mission-driven organizations by adapting my 15+ years of experience building integrated brand strategy across agency and client-side roles. By bringing the rigor and resources of B2B/B2C marketing to work for societal benefit, I help organizations connect with the values and motivations that call people to act. 

How my work can support nonprofit causes:

  • Messaging that achieves audience and stakeholder relevance and resonance
  • Communications that measurably contribute to organizational goals
  • Aligning organizational initiatives to streamline decisions and unlock resources
