Your Brand. Your Story. Clearly Communicated.
Kim Fischer
Former journalist and communications executive with 20+ years of experience advising leaders and organizations.
During times of growth and change, clarity matters.
I partner with organizations to align brand and communications through the stories teams use every day.

Services
My services focus on helping organizations communicate with clarity and consistency by aligning brand, messaging, and storytelling.
The work is practical and executional. I stay involved through development and implementation, working directly with leaders and teams to identify the stories that matter, shape how they are told, and ensure they are used consistently across the organization.
What I Do
1 / Executive Speaking & Media Coaching
Leaders are often promoted for their expertise, not their ability to communicate under pressure. I help executives prepare for moments that matter, whether they are speaking to the media, addressing internal teams, or representing their organization publicly.
This work is hands-on and practical, focused on preparing leaders to communicate effectively in real situations, not hypothetical scenarios.
​
This work is ideal for:
-
Nonprofit CEOs and executive directors
-
Startup founders and leadership teams
-
Political leaders and spokespeople
-
Senior executives preparing for high-visibility moments
​
Engagements may include:
-
Executive presence and message clarity coaching
-
Media interview preparation and on-camera training
-
Public speaking support for keynotes, panels, and internal events
-
Crisis and high-stakes communications preparation
​
Outcomes:
-
Clear, confident messaging
-
Greater comfort and credibility in public forums
-
Alignment between values, strategy, and voice
2 / Internal & External Comms Consulting
When communications are reactive or fragmented, trust erodes. I partner with organizations to bring structure, clarity, and intention to both internal and external communications.
​I partner with organizations to sharpen messaging, improve alignment across teams, and ensure communications are grounded in clear narratives that leaders and teams can actually use.
This work is ideal for:
-
Organizations undergoing growth or change
-
Leadership teams struggling with message alignment
-
Communications leaders who need senior-level support
​
Engagements may include:
-
Messaging frameworks and narrative development
-
Executive and organizational voice alignment

Change and crisis communications strategy
-
Stakeholder and audience clarity
-
Guidance on responsible AI use within communications and brand systems
​
Outcomes:
-
Stronger alignment across teams
-
More consistent and credible messaging
-
Communications that support strategy instead of chasing it
3 / Marketing & Comms Team Structure
Strong communications do not happen by accident. They require clear roles, smart structure, and leadership support.
I help organizations build and strengthen marketing and communications teams so roles are clear, workflows are effective, and brand and narrative responsibilities are well defined.
This work often includes hands-on development of roles, workflows, and governance so teams can operate effectively after the engagement ends.
​
This work is ideal for:
-
Organizations building a communications function for the first time
-
Teams experiencing role confusion or burnout
-
Leaders who want communications to operate strategically, not reactively
​
Engagements may include:
-
Org structure and role definition

Workflow and governance design

Coaching and support for communications leaders

Clarifying decision-making and ownership
​
Outcomes:
-
Clear accountability and expectations
-
More efficient workflows
-
Communications teams that deliver consistent value
​

4 / Brand Identity & Narrative Development
A strong brand is not a logo or a color palette. It is a shared understanding of who you are, what you stand for, and how you communicate that consistently across every audience and channel.
​
I help organizations define brand identity by identifying the core stories that explain who they are, what they do, and why it matters. This work creates a clear narrative foundation leaders and teams can use consistently across communications, training, and materials.
​
This work results in clear, usable brand foundations that leaders and teams can apply across communications, training, and materials.
​
This work is ideal for:
-
Organizations without a clearly defined brand foundation
-
Teams experiencing inconsistent messaging or tone
-
Leaders preparing for growth, change, or increased visibility
-
Organizations that have outgrown their current brand
​
Engagements may include:
-
Brand positioning and narrative development
-
Core messaging and voice definition
-
Alignment between mission, values, and external expression
-
Translating brand identity and voice into clear, usable inputs including guidance that supports consistent execution across teams, tools, and AI-assisted workflows.
​
Outcomes:
-
Clear, shared understanding of the organization’s identity
-
Consistent messaging across leaders and teams
-
A brand that supports trust, credibility, and growth
How I Work
My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in real-world experience. I have spent decades inside newsrooms and executive teams, which means I understand both the pressure leaders face and how messages are received externally.
​
I stay involved through execution, developing messaging, shaping narrative, and aligning brand and communications so strategy is translated into language leaders and teams can actually use. This includes hands-on work to ensure stories, messages, and priorities are clear, consistent, and applied across the organization.
Engagements are customized based on your goals, timeline, and organizational context. My role is to provide both strategic guidance and the executional support needed to move work forward with clarity and confidence.
