Helping organizations tell their story better for over 15 years.
Hi, I’m Alexandra Frank, an experienced strategic communications consultant with over 15 years of expertise working with organizations such as USAID, FCDO, the EU, the UN, DFAT, and both public and private sector international development implementing partners.
I specialise in writing and editing, external relations, event management, and strategic communications within the international development space. I excel in creating content including social media and website copy, video projects, photo essays, impactful success stories, white papers, lessons learned, and other publications on behalf of bi- and multi-laterals, government agencies, and their implementing partners.
I hold a bachelor’s degree from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA, where I completed my thesis on the use of storytelling in post-conflict countries at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. I also have a master’s degree in conflict resolution from Georgetown University in Washington DC, USA.
Currently based in London, UK, I provide both remote and on-site communications consulting support to clients around the world.
