Communications & Strategic Planning

PLAIN LANGUAGE SPEAKS VOLUMES

We help clients in business, government, education and non-profit sectors tell their stories through meaningful communications, strategy, training and development, and facilitation.

We do this through an unwavering commitment to creating safe spaces for diverse perspectives. We choose to listen with respect and to engage in conversations that are inclusive and accessible. We choose to partner with others who are doing the same, because we are stronger together.

Our Team Believes

DIVERSITY STRENGTHENS COMMUNITIES

As communicators, we know words have power and we work with empathy and curiosity to advance the language of equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging inside and outside of organizations.

  • "Our organization recently hired Apostrophe to support our communications strategy and messaging. The services offered by our organization are diverse and complex, which can feel overwhelming to explain in community. Apostrophe worked with us to develop an amazing blend of overarching key messages but also personalized messaging and storytelling for each board member. Our work with Apostrophe added enormous value for each of us personally and the organizations. I recommend them wholeheartedly if you are looking to refine your communications for good."
