When your mission is clear but the story feels cluttered

I help you shape the narrative that earns trust and unlocks support

I’m Sherene Strahan, a strategic narrative consultant.

I help purpose-led organisations shape the bigger story behind their work, so it connects when it matters most.

My journalism background means I start with the audience: what do they need to understand and why should they care?

I’ve worked with universities, research institutes and arts organisations. They bring the mission, expertise and materials. I shape them into a clear story that earns belief, builds support and helps unlock funding.

Clients say I’m a trusted resource: calm, strategic, and focused on what matters.

I say I help good things get supported. 

Here’s how.

Strategic Narrative Support

There are a few ways we can work together, depending on what your story needs.

When you need to shape a case for support or rethink your core narrative, here’s how I can help.

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.
