Emily Shaftel

Strategic Communications Consultant @Shaftel Consulting

I help organizations create and meet their communications goals through creative problem solving, audience-centered strategies, multimedia storytelling, and effective project management. My services include, but aren\'t limited to: Strategic Communications Leadership and Project Management: Smart strategy is the foundation of successful external and internal communications, and skillful project management is the key to getting the job done. I balance high-level vision and zoomed-in details to lead projects from strategy through implementation and evaluation, including communications planning, message development, and supervising creative teams. Creative Production: Your communications pieces should be audience-focused, have crystal clear goals, and reflect the essence of your organization. I lead the development and execution of creative projects across a variety of media, including print, video, web content, and live events. Human-Centered Storytelling: Let your community\'s stories shine. I collaborate with your clients, patients, staff, or partners to hear their stories and develop content for video, print, or digital formats-using best practices to ensure full consent and mutual benefit for the storytellers themselves. Stakeholder Engagement, Analysis, and Insights: Collaborating with your stakeholders-both outside and inside your organization-is essential to understanding the field and designing or improving programs and processes. I connect with your key informants to gather input, analyze themes and uncover insights, and work with you to develop next steps.If you need a project handled efficiently and expertly, I\'m also available for writing and editing, strategy sessions, and fractional staff support.
