“As part of our anniversary campaign, we knew we needed to focus on all aspects of our communications, including creating collateral, solidifying our mission and brand identity, pushing out content via social media, newsletter and website... A tall order, but one that Morgan was able to help us pull off successfully. From the creation of a social media playbook to consistent and strategic newsletters to intentional storytelling and creative implementation. It was a joy to work with Morgan and we really appreciated her versatility, knowledge and thought leadership. Our 20th anniversary slogan at Sadie Nash Leadership Project is "Act with Love, Act for Liberation" and Morgan did just that!”

"When I had my first consult with Morgan I had just landed my first ever social media job - with zero experience and a lot of nerves. Morgan made me feel instantly equipped to deal, with a focus on experimenting with different strategies which she made totally accessible and fun to learn. Morgan is patient, thorough and flexible in her approach to consulting. She is a fantastic teacher and supportive mentor, and is an all-out pro when it comes to social media marketing. Just three months after we first met, I am now confident in my approach to the platforms I manage, and am constantly learning new approaches. Thank you, Morgan!"
