StrategY

for Social Impact

Hi, I’m Lacey. I collaborate with mission-driven partners to develop clear, impactful communications and multimedia strategies.

I have worked across media, advocacy, and public service, telling stories and executing communications that strengthen visibility and deepen public understanding and engagement. Helping organizations and principals use their voice with credibility and purpose is my specialty.

What I do

As a brand steward, I work to understand your needs and deliver strategic storytelling and solutions that move people to action.

With deep experience in writing/editing, multimedia production, and communications strategy, I bring leadership expertise to organizations who can’t hire a full-time executive.

who i’ve worked with

I’ve worked with creatives and leadership at New York State Parks, Planned Parenthood, HUDSY, and MTV Networks to create meaningful deliverables.

I’ve also been a key voice on electoral campaigns for state and local races, and freelanced for Billboard, the Times Union, and other media outlets.

My approach

Building trust and literacy with audiences is always prioritized, and I’ll never shy away from complex projects that require hands-on execution.

We face a barrage of information every day—some factual, some not; some engineered to distract and misinform. Whatever the project is, let’s cut through the noise together.

You’re an organization, nonprofit, or small business doing good work. How can I help?

My services help you level up and navigate periods of growth and change:

Strategic Planning and Brand Stewardship
Narrative Development and Storytelling
Digital Content Operations
Production Management
