What do clients say about us?

  • "We’ve all been there…when the stakes are high and you need support yesterday. Ashley stepped in and made it simple. She brought us experienced consultants who understood our space right away and truly felt like an extension of our own team. We wouldn’t think twice about partnering with her again to find the right consulting talent."

    Meredith Zikria

    Senior Director, Internal Communications, Perdue Farms

  • "Working with Ashley was a fantastic experience. She excels at understanding specialized job requirements and sourcing high-quality candidates in record time. Ashley doesn't just pass along resumes; she provides strategic insights into the talent market and streamlines the screening process with people she has personally vetted. Thanks to her, we were able to significantly reduce our time-to-hire. I cannot recommend Ashley enough, and I look forward to working with her again."

    Madeline Temple

    VP, Global Brand, Communications & Content, Safeguard Global

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. "

    Ariel Irving

    Content Strategy Leader, MCA Connect

  • "CommsConsultants.com is a great option for those looking for amazing talent — and the talented looking for amazing gigs.

Ashley has an impressive network of comms consultants and she was able to visit with us to determine exactly what we needed and came back with a list of three candidates that met the mark. It was quick, painless, and resulted in a wonderful hire!”

I was one of her guinea pigs for the early build of her website and I was super duper blown away from the start by what she's created. My immediately take was: “Why doesn’t this exist already??” Which is probably a good indicator that she’s onto something real good."


    Joanna Parsons

    CEO, The Curious Route

Different projects, different needs, different timelines, but every time I am able to find quality contractors to help with my need of the moment. No endless searches.

You just fill out a quick form, and a day or two later, actual humans with real experience show up in your inbox."

Reviews from some of our members

  • "Digital spaces can feel lonely, impersonal, and competitive. That’s why community is so important - when people come together with shared purpose, it creates a safe space to grow together. CC has become one of these rare spaces - not through luck, but through intention and participation. Nearly 600 members are now sharing expertise across industry, discipline, and regional topics. Client opportunities come and go, but I love being here because of the kind people, and the resources/help they share."

    Jason King

    Social Media Consultant

  • "I just sent out an invoice to a client that I met through CommsConsultants.com! A HUGE shout out to Ashley for creating a service that will help us all grow our client rosters and show the value of communication consultants!" 🎉

Beyond the great conversations and new connections, I genuinely appreciate the platform for creating a thoughtful, supportive environment where practical counsel, shared resources, and real-world experience are openly exchanged as people think through their careers."

    Trevor Chapman

    Chief Storyteller + PR Leader

  • "Not even a member for a month and already secured a PR consulting contract with an amazing advertising agency, where I'll be working alongside some women I can already tell are smart, tenacious, and strategic creatives. Ashley has created a seamless platform for independent pros like me to connect with agencies and businesses that truly value our expertise. Feeling inspired by this community of talented consultants."


    Shayna Zeigen

    Co-Founder, Point Blank PR

  • "One of the best things about CC is the community. There’s a real comfort in knowing that when I have a question or need a resource, I can very quickly tap into a group of thoughtful, experienced comms professionals who are generous with what they’ve learned — sharing practical ideas, honest advice, and super helpful resources. It’s a rare kind of technical peer support – a space where we all help each other to make the work better for our clients."

It has been a tremendous resource for me as I continue to grow my business. The network is also fantastic for folks in-house looking for extra help with timely deliverables and strategic planning."


    Michael Lauer

From the monthly check-in calls with fellow consultants to the open Circle forum where we can connect, ask for advice, and share opportunities, every touchpoint is thoughtful and valuable. The ongoing trainings, resources, and education ensure we are continually growing, not just participating."

    Cate Hollowitsch

    Fractional CMO

  • "The CommsConsultants.com community is exceptionally generous in sharing advice, resources and even precious time for one-on-one chats. I’ve learned about aspects of the profession that never cross my desk, giving me new perspective on my work."

    Maribeth Davis

    Aerospace Comms Consultant

  • "The best thing I've done for my professional development and career is joining CC. You'll find high-quality videos, professional development resources, and much more. Consultants lead and participate in virtual events to share their expertise with seasoned and new consultants in the U.S. and abroad. The value of the 1:1 connections I've made in the community makes it well worth the cost."

    Carrie Johnson, MA

    Senior Consultant

  • "In a world filled with a plethora of digital spaces and communities, few deliver as much value and authentic intention as the CommsConsultants.com community. The genuine willingness of community members to lend a helping hand and quality of relationships I’ve developed in just over a year are unrivaled. I joined CommsConsultants.com for the potential client opportunities, but I stay because of the community."

    Senior Communications Professional

    Laura Hardin

    Owner, Hardin Heights Communications

  • “CommsConsultants.com came through for me with a lead this week. A client reached out through the directory and we had an hour + conversation - he had some very positive things to say about this service. He said he didn’t know where to start with PR and this helped him navigate his options. Even if I don’t get any leads from the platform, I find the monthly chats and Ashley’s perspective very valuable - but this client looks like an excellent fit. So I wanted to say thank you. It worked!”


    Maria Doyle

    President, Doyle Strategic Communications
    & LinkedIn Top Voice

  • "CommsConsultants gave me the sense of community I had been missing. The platform fosters connection between consultants, as well as continued personal and professional growth. If you love being a consultant but feel like you haven’t found your people yet, this is a great place to start."

    Melissa Baumgart

    Communications Consultant

  • "Grateful to be part of CommsConsultants.com, which connects leaders to pre-vetted communications consultants. I recently joined and am already receiving leads through the network.

    Natalie Moran

    Founder, Comms Futurist

  • "There is a real generosity in how members show up, openly asking questions, sharing experiences, and offering thoughtful advice.

I have hired several members as subcontractors on client projects, which speaks to the trust, quality, and professionalism within the community."

    Priya Bates, ABC, MC, SCMP, IABC Fellow 

    Internal Communications Strategist

  • "A huge thank you to Ashley Dennison and CommsConsultants.com. Through Ashley and this incredible directory, I’ve connected with exceptional communications professionals and even secured a new client for my business!

    Colton Pratt

    Founder, Cygnal Communications

  • "Ashley Dennison and CommsConsultants.com have been invaluable resources as I've embarked on this journey. If you're in comms of any kind, I highly encourage you to follow them and consider joining the network. I'm so glad I did! It's nice not to feel like you have to do this on your own."


    Carolyne Sohn

    Founder & Principal, Resonate Communications Advisory

  • "Working for yourself/by yourself can be extremely lonely. I love having the CommsConsultants.com community to bounce ideas off, vent or get advice. It feels like you have a team cheering you on from behind the scenes and sometimes that support can carry you forward when you need it most!"

    Victoria (Walsh) Zimmon

    Public Relations & Content Strategist

  • "This week marked one year since I joined CommsConsultants.com. A year ago, I'd been figuring things out on my own, which is to say, winging it. But since throwing my hat in the ring, this community has been a North Star for ideas, encouragement and perspective. I've learned far more than I've contributed, and I'm very grateful for the people and opportunities that have come my way Most of all, I want to sing the praises of Ashley Dennison for creating a space that makes consulting feel less daunting."

    Jonathan Marcin

    Communications Leader

  • "If you’re a freelance comms pro wondering whether it's worth it to join CommsConsultants.com or if those client opportunities are legit, my answer is yes. I just started a new role supporting total rewards and benefits open enrollment communications (my favorite!), and owe a huge thanks to Ashley Dennison for building a pipeline for these types of opportunities."

    Amanda Swennes

    Founder, Flying Comma

  • "Being an independent communications pro can be lonely, but CC gives me an extended International team. This community gives me extra niched expertise I didn’t have for clients, access to tools I don’t personally carry, fast advice from seasoned pros, and brainstorms in real time with generosity and zero ego. It’s a place to learn, share, grow, and do better work together."

    Sarah Manley Robertson, SCMP, ABC, Prosci

    Lead Advisor, Prospect Strategies Ltd

  • "CC is, hands down, the highest-value professional membership group I've ever been a part of. 'Thoughtful' is a word you'll hear on repeat in reference to how Ashley Dennison has, and continues, to build both the community aspect of CC and this mighty impressive suite of member resources that offers, quite literally, something for everyone on any given day. In a field as diverse as ours, that is not an easy thing to pull off. I also love that Ashley is committed to elevating the entire conversation around the comms profession in a way that champions us all--consultants, agencies, freelancers, and in-house folks alike."

    Michelle Taylor

    Brand, Marketing & Comms Consultant

  • "I've been a member of CommsConsultants for a little less than a year, and just embarked on my "build year." If I never land a client as a result of being a CC member, that's fine (although I'm sure I will). It will still be the smartest investment I've made in my young business. More than any other networking group or technology platform, CC offers the most valuable resources and support. Ashley has created an environment that encourages and celebrates collaboration, generosity and vulnerability."

    Charlotte Nicely

    Senior Consultant & Advisor

  • "CC is the community I didn’t know I needed when I launched my consulting business. Why? Because one of the most valuable aspects of it is the intellectual generosity of so many members. People use the platform to ask for advice and counsel, pressure test ideas, share resources, and do all things that we take for granted when working for a company. And the deeply experienced members respond…quickly and thoughtfully. I didn’t really appreciate that until I experienced it and I can’t imagine running my business now without the community as a support system."

    Lori Grey

    Founder, Greydient Communications

  • "CommsConsultants has been a great way to connect with other experienced freelancers, while also accessing relevant, high-quality work. It creates a genuine sense of community, which makes a real difference when you’re working independently, and the network consistently feels thoughtful, supportive, and well-curated."

    Molly Gagnon

    Director of Communications

  • "Two things I hear a lot in this job market—especially freelancers—are that it’s tough out there, and it’s lonely. CC has provided a wealth of resources for my independent business, and I’ve already met some amazing people. The founder Ashley Dennison introduced me to someone who I’m now collaborating with. It was one of the smoothest transitions I’ve had and I’m thrilled to see what comes out of that."

    Guyang Chen-Ware

    Senior Graphic Designer

  • "Solopreneurship can be a lonely journey. The CommsConsultants platform does a great deal to counterbalance this. In addition to providing community, the platform helped me land a long-term consulting opportunity with a great organization that I would have never found on my own. Most importantly, they would have never found me, either."
