Claire Altschuler

I'm an award-winning writer and nonprofit communications consultant based in the greater New York City area. I work with clients to craft powerful messaging that informs and influences target audiences in an increasingly complex media world. Deliverables include comprehensive communications plans; social media strategies; help identifying and pursuing new marketing partnerships; and strategies for reaching target audiences. To help clients raise awareness, I show them how to develop mutually beneficial relationships with editors, producers, bloggers and other influencers who can draw attention to their cause, and work to ensure content is shared on multiple platforms. I also provide press releases, short- and long-form articles, case statements, annual and capital fundraising communications, newsletters, and other content for all outlets, including social media, podcasts, blogs, websites and print.
