Interim VP of Comms & Marketing
Ongoing, strategic partnerships are often valuable for companies or VC firms looking for more hands-on firepower but not yet ready or able to make a full-time senior hire. Chantelle quickly integrates as a senior, strategic partner—embedded within your team from day one and requiring minimal hand-holding. She provides experienced leadership and guidance to enhance communications and marketing strategies, while still getting her hands dirty: building, writing, pitching, and delivering results.
This engagement is typically structured on a retainer basis for organizations seeking a committed, ongoing relationship.
projects
Many clients engage Chantelle to help them launch and tell their stories. These are usually distinct projects with a clear news element, like emerging from stealth or funding, and last a few weeks or months rather than an ongoing retainer.
While there is never a one-size-fits-all approach, these projects can often involve messaging development, media strategy and execution, owned content creation like press releases and blog posts, and media training.
Each project is tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring the announcement aligns with your brand and strategic goals.
Advisor
This service provides flexible advisory engagements for founders, VCs, and teams interested in adding additional experience, fresh eyes, creativity, a deep network, and trusted partnership to established programs.
In this capacity, I work alongside existing teams and agencies, helping to ensure they’re aligned with and performing towards bigger business goals. For example, do you want to launch a podcast and don’t know how? Do you have a crisis, and your team needs a sounding board? Are you a founder getting ready to pitch investors? Are you an existing Head of Communications in VC who needs a backstop
This service is typically 2-4 hours / week.
