Public Relations and Communications Specialist
You have a great story to tell and I can help you tell it.
Do you have an exciting accomplishment your organization has achieved? A fundraising idea that makes a compelling case for giving? Or do you need an important speech or presentation that hits home with a critical audience?
As Principal of Charmaine Gaudet Communications, I help public and private sector clients tell their stories and reach their communications goals. I offer the following services:
Your story is unique. It has the power to move and inspire. Let’s tell it!
I’m a public relations and communications specialist with more than 25 years experience in the health, education and energy sectors. I’ve developed, led and managed successful strategies for many complex and high profile projects.
Here are some of my representative projects:
Strategic Communications Planning I can help you communicate effectively to the people who matter most by developing a strategic communications plan that supports your goals and works with the resources you have.
Funding Proposals I help foundation clients reach their goals on behalf of charitable causes by developing well-researched and effective proposals that convey vision, value and passion.
Research and Writing Need an authoritative Op Ed to get your point across? A winning Power Point or keynote speech? Great promotional copy - or a cover story that inspires? I can help you hit the mark.
Reputation Management From conducting a reputation risk analysis of your organization to developing an issues management strategy, I can help you anticipate, manage and persevere through the inevitable rough patches.
Government and Stakeholder Relations I can help you build relationships with government and important stakeholders so you can engage and influence the people who matter most to your funding and your future.
Media Relations From media monitoring and developing press materials, to pitching important stories and preparing you for media interviews, I can help you get your message out effectively to the right people.
Project Management Under my watch, your communications project will meet expectations and come in on time and on budget.
Professional Services Coordination Depending on your needs, I can draw on a talented pool of writers, photographers, designers, market research specialists, and other professionals. To keep your costs down I never charge a mark-up on sub-consulting fees.
