C.C. STROM

When I was in high school, I wrote an essay about Ryan White, the young boy who contracted HIV through a blood transfusion and then faced discrimination. To my surprise, the essay was published in a state-wide student newspaper and won an award at the spring banquet, complete with a cash prize.

​

I’ve been hooked on the power of words ever since.

​

Today, I'm both a planner and a doer of communications, equally comfortable mapping out a strategy and rolling up my sleeves to execute it.

​

As a writer, I've shaped stories for organizations that needed their mission to resonate, turning dense, programmatic language into fundraising appeals that open hearts and wallets, web content that engages, and annual reports that actually get read.

​

As a strategist, I've planned and executed marketing campaigns, built brand messaging from the ground up, and managed communications projects from first draft to final delivery — on time, every time.

​

As a collaborator, I know how to work inside an organization's culture, pick up context quickly, and produce strong work without a lot of hand-holding.

​

I believe in clear, concise content. Compelling calls to action. Collaboration. The entrepreneurial spirit. Purpose-driven organizations. And strong, healthy communities.

And in case you're wondering, legally my name is Christine. But I've been called C.C. for so long, no one remembers how it came to be.
