For NGOs
& Foundations.

Strategic communications for organisations whose work resists easy summary.

Your work is concrete, real, and far-reaching.Your comms should be, too.

You’re a climate org working with multiple institutional partners across forty countries to reduce global dependence on coal power. Your settlement services offer housing, language, and job coaching to fifteen-hundred families a year starting fresh in a foreign land. You provide comprehensive support to hundreds of the city’s homeless, from food and temporary lodging to counselling and lobbying for affordable housing.

Yet your comms use the same abstract and generic language as everyone else, and your work ends up doing nothing more than making ‘impact’ in the ‘ecosystem.’ Why?

It’s a structural problem. Whether for funders or the public, external NGO comms often move through multiple internal stakeholders and departments, finding consensus in general terms that fail to do the work justice or speak to their audience. They lose sight of what they actually do and who they’re actually written for.

I offer an external eye that brings you back to your real work and audience while respecting your integrity and know-how. I find the narrative red thread running through what you do, sacrificing neither the stories that make your work matter nor the numbers that show its scope. Whether through my Clarity Sessions coaching and advisory support or in project-based work — funder presentations, impact reports, public campaigns — I help restore clarity and resonance to your external comms. Because your story should be as effective as your work itself.

The Clarity Sessions

Excavating your core narrative.

Coaching and advisory to establish what’s described above: finding the narrative red thread that runs through your work, in vivid, concrete, and jargon-free language. You leave with a core story that speaks to what you do and why it matters.

Standalone, or as the foundation for further work. Whether before a funder presentation, alongside an impact report, or as the start of a longer engagement, these sessions offer a durable basis for talking about your programmes across audiences and formats.

"Matteo has a remarkable ability to grasp complex organisational structures and translate them into clear, compelling, and highly effective communications materials."

I would recommend him without hesitation to any organisation looking to bring clarity, rigour, and strategic sharpness to complex, high-stakes communications work.
