“The CCPU Training Fund was a new project won by unionized family child care educators, and we were building a communications department. Erin Malone worked with us to do a thorough needs assessment of the staffing structure that would support us to reach the vision workers had for their training fund.

As a result of our collaboration, we were able to identify the right role for our new department. Our new Communications Director found Erin's needs assessment incredibly helpful in his onboarding process. Erin's thoughtfulness, strategic approach, creativity and years of experience gave us vital support we needed to make decisions at a crucial time in our growth. She brought the eye of an educator, communicator, organizer and strategist together to enhance our work, and I would highly recommend organizations in need of organizational development, curriculum development or content development to work with her.”

"I found myself in a moment of true desperation before working with Erin. My organization was struggling with clarity around our messaging, and as the CEO, I was having difficulty finding my voice. Erin helped me hone my mission-related voice and identify the key messages that needed to come from my perspective. She drafted important pieces that solidified my leadership approach and provided invaluable support during critical moments.

What I appreciated most about Erin was her wealth of experience, which informed my thinking on how to align my voice with that of my organization. I would absolutely recommend her for communications support. After working with Erin, I emerged as a more confident and intentional leader, and I continue to leverage the frameworks she provided in my internal and external communications."

"Before working with Erin, we faced significant challenges during our first contract campaign in a town with minimal union density. Our small team was overwhelmed, and we needed specialized help with external messaging. Erin transformed our basic communication calendar into a vital component of our winning strategy.

Thanks to Erin, we designed a media campaign that played a crucial role in securing a strong contract. We received excellent coverage of our worksite actions, and she also helped us create impactful ad campaigns.

What I appreciated most about Erin was her deep understanding of labor issues. This allowed us to collaborate effectively without needing to explain our context. She is a big-picture thinker who quickly crafts powerful messaging that addresses key issues.

I wholeheartedly recommend Erin to anyone looking to elevate their communication efforts. She effectively guides you through everything you need to know about your communication strategy and helps you implement it. After just one brainstorming session, we developed a successful external communication calendar, and I was incredibly relieved and impressed by the initial document she sent after our first meeting.”
