I’m Dominique brienne

I am an organizational communications strategist.

I work with leaders and organizations whose results are proven, but story isn't consistent. Nonprofits that can't articulate what makes them different. Executives whose brands don't reflect their capabilities. Organizations facing high-stakes moments that require strategic precision without panic.

My clients secure funding, attract the right audiences, and control their narrative when it matters most, and long after.

Experience

At Codeword Agency, I support strategic communications for Fortune 100 technology platforms. I lead positioning frameworks, content strategy, and internal communications for products and services reaching millions.

I've also worked with educational institutions, healthcare foundations, faith-based organizations, and nonprofits navigating campaigns, crisis response, and organizational transitions.

Clients featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Essence, CBS News. I am a four-time published author. I hold two degrees from Northeastern University—one in Business Administration (Management and Marketing) and a master's in Corporate and Organizational Communications. I serve as the Director of Communications at The L.I.V.E. Church.

How I Work

I'm a strategist by training, a founder by experience, a writer by passion, and someone who understands what it takes to build and sustain something from the ground up.

I'm also a mom of two young boys, which means I know what it's like to make every second count. I don't waste your time or mine. When we work together, we focus on what drives results, not what looks good on a website.

Most consultants take your brief and execute. I diagnose before I build. I ask the questions others are afraid to ask. I challenge the brief to make sure we're solving the right problem.

Why I Do This

I believe the organizations doing the most important work are often the least visible. Not because their work isn't valuable, but because they're too busy doing it to tell the story.

Mission-driven organizations deserve positioning that attracts the right support, messaging that drives action, and infrastructure that scales.

Your narrative should work as hard as you do. That's what I'm here to help you build.
