Donna Hardwick
Senior Consultant helping nonprofit & mission driven organizations. I help companies see clearly where they’re stuck and how to move forward. Through strategy, facilitation, and actionable recommendations, I guide teams toward meaningful, lasting impact.
Marketing and Communications strategies are a key part of my approach, helping teams clarify messaging, engage audiences, and drive results.
Organizational Strategy & Diagnostics
I work with nonprofits and mission-focused organizations to simplify complexity to generate real results. From structural challenges and audience engagement to team alignment, mergers, restructures, and strategic planning, I help organizations turn insight into practical impact — including building marketing and communications teams that work smarter, avoid burnout, and drive business results.
Public Media
At WGBH, American Public Television, ITVS, and Public Radio Exchange, I led national programs and learned what works — and what gets in the way — when reaching and retaining audiences. I help radio, television, and podcast organizations grow audiences and improve engagement, using strategic campaigns and data analysis to guide decisions.
Arts, Culture & Entertainment
Local, national, and international creative organizations have called on me to lead campaigns, clarify priorities, and strengthen their teams. I help organizations thrive without losing what makes them unique — from international trade shows and film festivals to special events, community engagement, and partnership development.
About Me
I’ve built my career by listening first, asking the hard questions second, and rolling up my sleeves third. I’ve led national media programs, built marketing teams from scratch, guided nonprofits through tricky restructures, and occasionally wrestled with chaos just to see what happens when smart people get honest with each other.
I’m not here to fit a mold — I’m here to help organizations think differently, work better, and get results without losing their soul. Whether it’s strategy, facilitation, or just helping a team breathe a little easier, I bring clarity, curiosity, and a healthy dose of grit to every project.
