Your Pros for Prose.
We are a women-owned, full-service strategic communications agency founded by Meredith Dugas, a senior strategist who has built her career on diligence, precision, and the written word.
We live and breath communications. And we can do it all because we’ve seen it all – both as in-house corporate leaders and agency executives – and we know the pain points of our clients because we have been in your shoes… managing limited resources, multiple deadlines, and so much more.
How we are different
A Philosophy
Focused on
Partnership.
We are your pros for prose, and you can bet your bottom budget dollar that our senior leaders will be in the trenches with you every day, with sleeves rolled up to help you achieve your goals.
No handoffs to junior employees who don’t know your business… just veteran experience with the quality, speed, efficiency, and agility to enable us to succeed together.
It’s a powerful partnership you can count on, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
