Hire the communicatrix

I’m Colleen Wainwright, a.k.a. “the communicatrix,” and I provide creatively-minded people with the tools, ideas and practices they need to share their awesomeness with the world*.

I could wax on about my philosophy or about my long and checkered past in the communications industries. But if you’re here now, I’ll bet you’re wondering less about my past and more about your future, so without further ado…

Hire me to speak to your group

My talks combine practical tips you can put to use immediately with new ways of looking at old things that will change the way you think moving forward. Also, they are generally a rollicking good time. So if you don’t like to have fun, you should probably hire someone else.

For more on the talking, including descriptions, testimonials, and sample video, click here.

Hire me for one-on-one coaching or consulting

I work one-on-one, over the phone, okay, Skype, with creative entrepreneurs looking to get clarity around any aspect of their marketing, branding, or overall messaging. Come to me confused and tormented, leave with a map and a light. (Not to mention an overwhelming urge to get cracking RIGHT THIS MINUTE. Such is the nature of clarity.)

Here are some examples of the specific problems I’ve helped my clients solve:

  • Increasing their newsletter open rate. By 100%, in some cases.
  • Structuring a new blog (or overhauling a current one) so that it’s easy, fun and sustainable to work on
  • Making their crappy about/bio/landing/etc. page AWESOME
  • Where to concentrate their efforts, marketing-wise
  • Where to START with all this marketing nonsense
  • See above, but replace “marketing” with “social media”
  • Which project (singular) to focus on, and which ones (plural) to ditch
  • Where they don’t have to spend any more time
  • What they are GREAT at

Here are some things I do NOT do:

  • Copywriting of any kind. I can refer you to people who do that. I can help you become a better writer. You can hire me as your own, private and personal writing teacher, if you want to use your hour(s) that way. But no copywriting.
  • Ghost writing, co-writing, or copywriting.
  • Did I mention copywriting?

Most of the people who work with me have either seen me speak, met me at one of the many real-life functions I find myself at, or know me fairly well through my work around the web. If you somehow stumbled on this page by accident and are experiencing an uneasy mix of bafflement and curiosity, I suggest you visit the about page (for my overall philosophy) browse my newsletter archives to get an idea of the kinds of things I’m good at helping people with and perhaps watch a few videos to see if you even like me. You might not!

My rate is $155 per hour. My consulting hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from 1-6pm Pacific Time; Friday from 9am – 1pm Pacific Time. When you’re ready to go, click the “Buy Now” button below. It should take you to PayPal, where you can purchase your 60 minutes any one of the thousand ways PayPal lets you do it. (And if it doesn’t please email me immediately!) Once I receive confirmation, I’ll email you a list of times to choose from, an exquisitely brief questionnaire, some instructions for calling me, and that’s it!

Ready?


Thanks, and I look forward to working with you!

*My actual mission statement is “To Be a Joyful Conduit of Truth, Beauty and Love,” but that tends to draw a lot of blank stares in traditional networking-type situations. Plus it doesn’t cover much in the way of worldly overhead outside of your average ashram. (Although I my put it on my next business card anyway.)
