You're not a Communications Waitress

You didn’t sign up to be a task-master or an order-taker, yet it feels like that’s where you spend most of your time, right?

I’ve been there.

I’m Tara McDonagh and if there’s one thing you need to know about me it’s that I believe Communications departments should be treated as business advisors first and communications product-producers distant second.

If you agree, we’ll get along great.

With 25 years of experience in corporate and agency communications, I know the massive impact that thoughtful, strategic communications can have on achieving business goals.

But I also know what happens when there’s a focus on busy work, not business work. When more time is spent in communication triage, strategic planning suffers, and with it, your department’s reputation.

I’m here to work alongside you, helping you and your team get to the bottom of what is and isn’t working so you can step fully into your role as strategic business advisors. I’ll equip you with a strategic long-term plan (and help you get executive buy-in) that aligns with business goals and generates results. You get off the merry-go-round of constant triage and elevate your team’s reputation as a result.
