Julie Masson, Your Fractional CCO
Helping Nonprofit Leaders Communicate with Confidence
Nonprofit leaders bring me in when communication is the problem: unclear, inconsistent, or missing altogether.
I step in, fix what’s broken, build what’s missing, and leave them with communications that work for their people and their mission.​
​
All without the cost and commitment of a full-time Chief Communications Officer.
What if you had a trusted advisor to help you lead communications, not just manage it?
Stop spinning your wheels.
Start leading with clarity.
If your communications feel scattered, or nonexistent…
If your team isn’t sure what to say, when to say it, or who’s responsible…
If your board isn’t equipped to share your story, and donors aren’t hearing it clearly…
You're not alone. Many small nonprofits hit a point where communication stalls, but hiring a full-time CCO isn’t realistic.
​
That’s where I come in.
​
Through a focused 3-month engagement, I step in as your fractional Chief Communications Officer, bringing strategic clarity, message alignment, and a practical structure your team can run with. Whether you're preparing for a campaign, launching a new initiative, or just trying to get your house in order, we’ll build a communications strategy your team can actually implement.
No more guesswork.
No more mixed messages.
Just strategic leadership without the full-time hire.
You know your communications aren’t working. Ready to build a strategy that does?
Let's Work Together

Fix Your Comms
Clarify your message. Align your team. Get your communications on track. ​
​
If your communications feel broken and ineffective, you need me. I help nonprofits figure out why it’s not working, then help them fix it. Through a deep dive into your internal and external comms, I’ll surface what’s confusing your audience, misaligning your team, or stalling your impact.
You’ll leave with a clear, actionable roadmap, and a team that knows how to use it.

Comms Coaching
For Communications Leaders or Executive Directors of small teams who know their communications aren't working, but don't know exactly why or how to fix it. ​
​
If you're overwhelmed or stuck, I'll help you cut through the confusion and create a clear, practical plan that actually moves your organization forward.
​
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s holding your communications back, and an actionable plan you can use right away.
