Carolyn Morris
Hello!
I'm an award-winning writer, strategic communications consultant and former magazine journalist based in Toronto.
I partner with game-changing leaders—philanthropic and advancement directors, academic leaders, groundbreaking scientists, CEOs and C-suite executives—to engage stakeholders in a new vision for the future.
I can help:
illustrate your vision in a way that captivates hearts and minds
inspire philanthropic donors to invest in a life-changing initiative through compelling cases for support and proposals
engage employees to get behind new leadership and business direction through meaningful internal communications
showcase impact with stories and reports your audience will want to read
translate complex research initiatives into tangible and relatable stories and explainers
Are you looking for the right words to bring your vision to life?
Get in touch. I would love to meet you!
