Fractional Communications Leadership


I work with organizations where credibility, trust, and clarity matter, serving as a fractional Chief Communications Officer when growth, change, or visibility puts pressure on how an organization communicates.

​

My role is to bring steadiness, clarity, and judgment to brand and communications so leaders can make confident decisions and teams are aligned around a clear story.

 

The work adapts to the organization and the moment. 

The responsibility does not.

​

I help ensure the narrative holds internally and externally, shaping executive voice, aligning internal and external communications, and clarifying brand narrative so it supports strategy rather than creating friction.

​

I’m not here to add noise or output.
I’m here to provide leadership when it matters most.

When My Work Is Most Valuable

My work is most valuable in moments that put real pressure on how an organization communicates.

​

This often includes:

  • leaders responsible for representing their organization publicly

  • teams communicating across multiple audiences or stakeholders

  • organizations experiencing growth, transition, or increased visibility

 

If your work carries real consequence for trust, reputation, funding, or growth, this is where I add the most value.

 

This work often shows up in mission-driven or high-visibility organizations.
 

The common thread is responsibility, not sector.

About

A Trusted Partner in High-Stakes Communications

I’ve spent more than two decades at the intersection of journalism, executive leadership, and strategic communications. I understand how messages land because I’ve been on both sides, as a reporter asking the questions and as an executive responsible for the answers.

​

Through the Kim Fischer Collective, I help leaders make clear, grounded decisions in moments of complexity, pressure, and visibility. My role is to bring steadiness and judgment to how organizations communicate when credibility, trust, and public responsibility are on the line.

​

I help leaders clarify not just what they say, but the stories that shape understanding, guide decision-making, and hold an organization together during change.

​

Clarity builds trust.
Trust makes progress possible.
