Red Pen Strategy offers an extensive range of communications services to schools. No project is too big or too small. Whether your school is looking for senior-level consultation, a thought partner for enrollment, marketing, or fundraising strategies, or simply an extra set of hands to best tell your story, we’re equipped to partner with you.

Red Pen Strategy intentionally leads with listening. Let’s schedule a call so you can tell me about your school’s specific situation and the type of support you seek.

Red Pen Strategy is built on nearly two decades of experience in six different independent schools. If it can happen in a school, I have probably communicated about it. I know the feeling of being a department of one stretched thin, I know the feeling of leading a talented team who needs extra help to get a major project accomplished, and I know the feeling of benefiting from mentorship and wisdom in my own professional growth.

Generally, I encourage schools to put Red Pen Strategy on retainer. This provides maximum value and creates budget predictability for both parties—plus, you can pick up the phone to reach me without worrying about billable hours.

That said, hourly and project-based pricing is available.

While I pride myself on my creative problem-solving, my excellent communication skills, and my sharp strategic mind, above all else I aim to be a good colleague who listens well, considers the details deeply, and brings a warm sense of humor to the work. In short, my goal is to be your first call not just because I am good at the work, but because I am good to work with.
