The Strategy Studio was created to give corporate communicators something many of us never had:
a place to practice, think, test ideas, and grow—together.
The Strategy Studio is built by Crescenzo Communications, a communications firm that specializes in corporate and internal communication strategy, employee experience and engagement.
While Crescenzo Communications delivers consulting, training, and content services for organizations, The Strategy Studio exists to provide an ongoing professional development and practice space for communicators.
The Founding Members behind the Studio aren’t just colleagues; we're family. Together, we brought the concept to life, created the content you’ll find inside, and built the Studio from the ground up.
Fueled by decades of experience, a shared passion for communication, and the occasional friendly debate over whose idea was best, their mix of perspective, curiosity, and real-world experience is what shaped the Strategy Studio into the vibrant community it is today.
Strategic advisor and data geek who helps communicators think strategically, lead with clarity, and apply their skills to real work...all while having a little fun doing it.
Master storyteller and writing coach who helps communicators turn complex and sometimes dull corporate stories into compelling stories with authenticity, heart and humor.
Studio operations and community lead, focused on creating engaging learning experiences and helping members turn insight into action, as well as keep the other two founders on their toes.
The Strategy Studio is supported by an advisory board of respected industry leaders and thought partners we’re proud to call colleagues, mentors, and friends.
These advisors bring deep experience across internal communication, leadership, employee experience, technology, and organizational change. Their guidance helps ensure the Studio stays grounded in real-world challenges and continues to evolve with the profession.
