Not every organization needs a full-time Chief Communications Officer. Many need a senior leader who can step in, provide strategic counsel, guide teams and agencies, and help move communications forward.
Leigh Fazzina works with CEOs, executive teams and communications professionals as a fractional communications leader, interim communications executive and senior strategic advisor. Depending on the organization’s needs, she can serve in a Fractional Chief Communications Officer capacity, provide interim leadership, or work alongside an existing communications team.
Fractional leadership is not consulting from the sidelines. Leigh becomes an extension of the leadership team—helping establish priorities, counsel executives, lead communications initiatives, build stratgey, mentor internal staff, manage external partners and ensure communications supports broader business objectives.
Senior leadership when you need it. For as long as you need it.
The level of support can expand or contract as your organization’s needs evolve.
Fractional communications leadership gives an organization access to senior-level communications strategy, counsel and oversight without adding a full-time communications executive. Depending on the organization’s needs, Leigh may serve as a fractional communications leader, interim communications executive, senior strategic advisor or Fractional Chief Communications Officer.
When an organization is growing, building or strengthening its communications function, between communications leaders, preparing for a major milestone, or when the CEO needs experienced communications counsel without making a full-time hire.
A PR agency typically executes communications programs from outside the organization. A fractional communications leader works more closely with executive leadership—helping set strategy, counsel the CEO, oversee internal and external resources, guide agencies and ensure communications supports broader business objectives.
A Fractional Chief Communications Officer provides C-suite-level communications leadership on a part-time or flexible basis. The role may include communications strategy, reputation management, executive counsel, team leadership, agency oversight and support around major business milestones.
