About Colin Durant
Looking for the next opportunity in public relations/comms — whether that’s agency work or in-house for enterprises, nonprofits, or government. I\'m a PR and comms pro who delivers results with a mix of insight, agility, and excellent partnership. I build relationships with clients and stakeholders through counsel and insight in a continually shifting media marketplace and can develop messaging that resonates with writers, creators, and stakeholders across multiple platforms. Previously, I worked on PR for Microsoft on projects involving its software developer tooling, data platforms, startup offerings, and low-code platforms, counseling clients on the unique aspects of products and thought leadership as well as where their messaging fits in the media landscape. I spent over 15 years working as a line producer and writer for broadcast news, honing skills in project management and the agility to handle both short- and long-term deadlines, along with an expert understanding of the needs of journalists and creators, no matter what format they work in.I have a passion for making complicated and technical details easily understandable so people understand how those details relate to how they work and live. I am dedicated to guiding a team to achieve the best results for clients along with the professional goals of the team\'s members. My philosophy on team collaboration is that we can all dig in on tasks large and small - and it\'s about figuring out ways to add to and improve all our skill sets.
