Where Strategy Meets Humanity

Shout out to Erin Beattie at Engage + Empower Communications Consulting who did fantastic work on the website for Long-Distance Family Services. Working with Erin was a pleasant and professional experience - thanks to her expertise we are now better equipped to support the LDF member community and have eased the administrative process for our company partners. 

I highly recommend Erin's services for your communication needs.

Erin is client-focused, an exceptional strategic partner, creator, collaborator, and marketing genius. She recently designed and managed the communications plan to help us launch our new programs. Our project was complex and had many moving parts. She was very responsive, put the pieces of the puzzle together quickly, anticipated our needs, and developed and implemented a customized solution that brought to life our vision perfectly. 

Erin’s work resulted in consistent brand and professional marketing products designed to promote our programs and engage our audiences at all touchpoints of our client experience, including our website, online social media platforms, information sessions, webinars and workshops. 

She brings a depth of experience, a strong work ethic, a valuable network and an ability to work with complex teams on any type or size project. 

I highly recommend Erin and her team at Engage + Empower to help you and your team bring your vision to life.
