Allie Madden, MA
Strategic Communications and Marketing
I help mission-driven organizations turn complex ideas into clear, compelling communications that move people to action. My work spans audience research, brand and campaign strategy, content, stakeholder engagement, and internal communications—from shaping organizational narratives to building the systems and experiences that help teams bring them to life.
With 10+ years of experience in communications—from journalism, freelance writing, and editorial work to leading communications for mission-driven organizations—I bring a versatile, people-centered approach to strategy and storytelling. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve led communications across nonprofits and purpose-driven organizations, spanning brand and marketing, content and media relations, stakeholder engagement, internal communications, and organizational culture. I’m at my best at the intersection of strategy and execution: understanding people and audiences, finding the story, building thoughtful communications strategies, and bringing them to life across channels and teams. I’m drawn to work that connects people to purpose—whether that means building a brand, engaging a community, strengthening internal culture, or helping an organization communicate and grow with intention.
“Allie consistently executes at a high level, produces high quality work, and is a great manager that gets the best performance from her staff—a true foundation builder.”
