About Linda Plano

Helping you to realize your vision is my motivation

I have a knack for translating complex ideas into clear communications, and for helping people with different visions come to consensus. I love what I do and, if you could use a fresh perspective, I hope you will reach out!

Strategic Communications Moves Mountains

Tactical communications processes rely on copying older presentations and changing a word or image here and there, resulting in a patchwork document. Efficient development of compelling communications depends on solid fundamentals that can be adapted to any circumstance.

You Pitch Almost Every Day

Every communication has an “ask” associated with it, even if is just an implicit request for the audience’s attention while you speak.

Anytime you ask somebody to do something they were not already planning to do, you are pitching to them!

Thus, my “Perfect Pitch” approach is the foundation on which all my Strategic Communications services are based.
