Communications leadership, without the full time hire

Mergia Communications plans, writes, and manages communications for associations, Christian nonprofits, and mission driven schools. I take ownership of the agreed work and report to you like a member of the team.

Who this is for

Associations

Member updates, leadership letters, and a publishing schedule that keeps members informed and renewing.

Christian nonprofits

Ministry and fundraising communications that stay true to the mission and still move a supporter to act.

Mission driven schools

Admissions and family communications on a calendar that keeps the school community close.

This works for an organization with no communications staff, and for a communications team that needs experienced additional capacity for a season.

What I do

Leadership messages

Letters, board updates, event remarks, and responses to sensitive questions, written in the voice of the person signing them.

You receive finished drafts ready for review, so leaders answer on time without losing an evening to a blank page.

Staff and member updates

Newsletters, staff announcements, member communications, and family communications for schools.

You receive each piece drafted, edited, and sent on schedule, so the people who depend on you hear from you regularly.

Making technical information understandable

Program and policy explainers, research and data summaries, annual report and financial narratives, and plain language FAQs.

You receive content a board member, a donor, or a parent can follow the first time, without a meeting to explain it.

Consistent organizational messaging

A core message document, boilerplate and leadership bios, a short voice and style guide, and alignment edits across existing materials.

You receive one agreed set of words for who you are and what you do, so every document agrees and new staff can write in the same voice.

Communications planning and publishing

An editorial calendar, templates for recurring pieces, a review and approval path, and a planning rhythm your team can keep.

You receive a system that keeps communications moving, so the work no longer depends on who has a free hour.

Website design and build

A secondary capability. Clean, fast websites for organizations whose site should match the work behind it, built so a small team can keep them current.

Three ways to start

Choose the one that fits where you are. None of them requires the others.

Ongoing communications support

For organizations that need someone to own the work month to month. We agree on priorities, responsibilities, deliverables, deadlines, and who approves what. I manage the agreed work and keep you informed. Fits an organization with no communications staff and a team that needs experienced capacity for a season.

Discuss communications support

A defined writing or communications project

For a specific piece of work with a clear finish: a set of leadership letters, an annual report narrative, a newsletter relaunch, a messaging document, or a campaign. We scope it, I deliver it, and the engagement ends when the work is done.

Discuss a project

The Clarity Audit

For organizations that need help deciding what to prioritize first. A review of how you communicate now, a written findings document you can hand to your board, a prioritized ninety day plan, and a working session with your leadership. It stands on its own, and it is also a sound first step before either of the other two.

How the Clarity Audit works

How ongoing support works

  1. We agree on the work.

    Priorities, responsibilities, deliverables, deadlines, and who approves what, written down before anything goes out.

  2. I manage it.

    Drafts arrive ready for review. You approve or redirect. I handle revisions, scheduling, and sending.

  3. You stay informed.

    A standing check in on what is coming, what went out, and what needs to change, so you always know what goes out next.

Scope and fees depend on your calendar and your team, so there is no price list here. Tell me what you have, and I will tell you what it would take.
