Who is The Bold Work Collaborative?
The Heartful Strategist
Audrey Alverson
Founder & Principal Consultant
My professional work in design, marketing, and strategic communications began to merge with my identity as an activist and advocate for equity and human rights over a decade ago, and there’s been no looking back. Working as a marketing and communications do-er and leader for many years shed light for me on what was often a disconnect between what is the truth, what is a good intention, and what the marketing strategy wants to say. This led me to learn how to use marketing desires and strategies as a tool to both inform and influence organizational change, and to a deep understanding of the natural connection between organizational strategy and communications strategy.
Today, I am on a mission to help organizations clarify, define, and live by their own missions and values. I work from the inside out and the outside in, where strategies for communications, marketing, organizational design, and social impact are treated as interdependent systems. This way of working gives me a holistic perspective on what a successful organization looks like and behaves like — both from the outside and the inside.
My work is deeply influenced by organizational psychology, social sciences, and DEI principles. And while I am not an expert in any one of these disciplines, I am forever learning from those who are.
We don’t do marketing without the substance, and we don’t create the substance without considering marketing.
