Ellen Averill

Experienced communications professional offering strategic communications leadership, consulting and execution, plus a background in journalism.

Yeah yeah, but what does experienced mean?

• I built a change communication program for the largest change initiative in domestic retail for a 100 Best company.
• I served as a PIO for a company named one of the devil's minions by media.
• I balanced the need to protect the brand with my system member's desire to be unique.
• I volunteered for and thrived on geeky projects like business continuity planning, much to my teammates' relief.
• I managed high-pressure projects with inflexible deadlines and multiple subject-matter-expert contributors. Like annual reports.
• I served on an executive team and as a department head.

No matter the position, the work itself remains my passion. Organizational storytelling. Breaking down complex and even challenging-to-hear information in ways people can act upon. Creating conversations. These are among my strengths.

Let's talk about how I can support your objectives through communications.
