The Fractional Communications Advisory (Retainer) — Clarion Communications Group offers fractional communications leadership for organizations that need senior-level strategy, advising, and execution on an ongoing basis.
This retainer provides consistent access to experienced communications leadership that integrates with your executive team, strengthens brand credibility, and ensures your communications function keeps pace with business priorities.
What we deliver

Subject to organizational needs, retainer support includes:
- Strategic communications planning aligned to business goals
- Executive counsel and message development
- Ongoing brand positioning and narrative refinement
- Media relations and thought leadership strategy
- Crisis preparedness, advisory, and rapid-response support
- Oversight and coordination of PR, creative, and content efforts
- Communications process development and optimization
- Leadership support during moments of growth, transition, or scrutiny
- Bi-monthly, 45-minute progress meetings
- Bonus: Full phone and email availability M-F, during business hours (generally 9am-5pm)
Support is tailored, flexible, and calibrated to deliver maximum impact without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Who It's For
This engagement is designed for organizations that:
- Need senior communications expertise but not a full-time senior communications executive
- Are scaling, pivoting, or preparing for increased public visibility
- Want consistent, strategic, and continued oversight rather than ad hoc PR support
- Value experience, judgment, and executive-level partnership
