MARKETING, PUBLIC RELATIONS, AND STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION
I'm Dana — a Pittsburgh transplant from rural Pennsylvania who's lived here for over 10 years. I'm a graduate of Chatham University's Marketing and Communications program and have held various roles in sales and marketing for the better part of a decade. I began offering freelance marketing, PR and creative work on the side in 2018 and launched The Plain English Consultant as my full-time endeavor in early 2020.
As The Plain English Consultant, I specialize in marketing and strategic communication for small businesses, nonprofits, artists and musicians. Having worked with budgets ranging from $100-$100,000, I am skilled at delivering successful and measurable results on a shoestring. I believe in creating partnerships with purpose and leveraging stories to market organizations and their brands meaningfully.

TESTIMONIALS
I cannot say enough great things about Dana, personally and professionally, during her time with my team at Maven Consulting.
Being in startup mode, Dana seamlessly blended in with our small-but-mighty team and adapted to the ever-changing landscape to support our growing client roster with media relations. It's difficult to pinpoint just a few of her strong suits, but what I admired and appreciated most was her commitment and dedication to her role, organization with our systems/processes and ability to navigate and juggle multiple client efforts, over the course of nearly a year.
Dana is unbelievably reliable and an incredible team member, who leads with a great balance of an entrepreneurial mindset and humility. She contributed immensely to our success, and any team, brand or agency would be lucky to work with her.
