Iulia L.
Strategic Communications Consultant | Media Relations & Ghostwriting
I’m a strategic communications consultant and writer with more than seven years of experience helping clients get seen, heard, and trusted in competitive spaces. I specialize in media relations, earned PR, ghostwriting, content strategy, and turning ideas into clear, compelling stories that actually move people, whether that’s landing placements, growing audiences, or building credibility. What I deliver for clients: I build and run earned media strategies – researching outlets, creating targeted press lists, crafting strong pitches, and securing coverage in print, digital, broadcast, and podcasts. I ghostwrite professionally in your voice – op-eds, commentary, scripts, newsletters, press releases, social posts, and executive thought leadership pieces. I create and refine content that grows reach – from scaling YouTube channels (one went from roughly 180,000 to over 540,000 subscribers through smart story selection and narrative positioning) to lifting email open rates (+22%) and donor contributions (+13%) for targeted campaigns and executive outreach. I handle original reporting and analysis – breaking down complex topics (policy, governance, local impact) into accessible, persuasive writing that drives conversation and results. I’ve produced investigative work that built a local news outlet’s reputation and led to real change, like exposing a faulty speed-camera program that was suspended after sustained coverage. I’ve run podcast-style interview series – pitching guests, preparing questions, and adapting live to keep discussions sharp and substantive. Clients come to me when they need someone who can spot the right story fast, package it effectively, build media relationships that last, and deliver polished work under real deadlines. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on outcomes, whether you’re a leader looking to amplify your message, an organization pushing an initiative, or a brand needing consistent voice and visibility.
