What do clients say about us?

  • "We recently partnered with Ashley Dennison at CommsConsultants.com to find a consultant for internal communications. Ashley was personally involved, made the process incredibly smooth, and helped us land a great partner quickly and cost-effectively. I’d happily recommend her to any CEO looking for top contract talent."

    Christine Ann Miller

    CEO, Melinta Therapeutics

  • "When I launched my startup… I assumed if you build something great, people will come. But growth without marketing is like gaining inches when you need to go a mile. Enter Ashley Dennison, whose platform's made it easy to find a ton of really great marketing strategists. She introduced me to Kate - who somehow has the exact experience I didn’t even know to ask for. She gets my business and she's making everything sharper and whole lot less overwhelming. If you're faking your way through marketing like I was, I highly recommend CommsConsultants.com for your search!"

    Heather Wallander

    Founder, JustiProof

  • "I can’t recommend Ashley Dennison and CommsConsultants.com enough. I was recently introduced to Ashley when I needed some help with our team’s communications needs. She provided pre-vetted, excellent candidates—and she did it fast, affordably, and it was easy to boot. Best of all, she was a pleasure to work with!"


    Judy Morris

    Chief Human Resources Officer, Pitney Bowes

  • "Prior to connecting with Ashley and her network, I had tried to find a PR freelancer through LinkedIn and a couple of freelance-finder websites. On these other platforms, candidates either didn't have the experience I was looking for or had plans far outside the budget I was working with. I completed the Comms Consultants form and had my inbox full of candidates who met every mark within the first two days. I met with 5, each of whom was talented, experienced, and would work within my established budget. "

From Our Founder

After 20 years working in every facet of communications, including 10 years in consulting, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with an incredibly diverse global network of independent experts in communications, marketing and creative. Across many countries, specialties and industries, I’ve watched these professionals repeatedly deliver measurable value for the clients they serve.

I felt there should be a dedicated place for business leaders to discover and connect with these talented folks. A place where you don’t have to pay an exorbitant cost or search for weeks to find the expert you need.

That’s why I created CommsConsultants.com - a personally curated, global community of the best of the best in every imaginable specialty. I hand picked and pre-vetted every one of our members.

The easiest way to tap into our network is to use our talent request form. It takes about 10 minutes to complete and we’ll use it to send qualified, pre-vetted candidates to your inbox fast.

I hope this service is useful as you work to make your communications + marketing programs even more impactful in the year ahead!
