Narratives that build trust and support
Strategic storytelling for fundraising and campaigns
I’m Sherene Strahan, a strategic narrative consultant.
I help connect people to your mission and inspire meaningful action.
My background is in journalism, so I begin every project by asking: What does the audience need to understand?
I’ve worked with university foundations, research institutes and arts organisations to shape narratives that unlocked transformational gifts.
My approach is collaborative and assured. Clients tell me I’m an “exceptional resource” who helps them move forward with confidence.
Narrative Support for High-Value Moments
I work with teams and individuals, offering three distinct services:
Consulting
Narrative strategy and story development for purpose-led organisations in fundraising, research, education and the arts, as well as social enterprises and peak bodies.
I shape Cases for Support, donor messaging, vision statements and narrative frameworks so every touchpoint tells the same clear story.
