My name's Madi Spector, and I help progressive nonprofits and political campaigns tell powerful stories. I’m a full-service communications strategist with specialties in social media management, graphic design, and email copywriting. I have a stable day job I love at a legacy human rights nonprofit, and I enjoy helping underdogs with audacious communications projects on the side.
Got tough challenges? Those are my favorite kind.
I worked my way through college as a first-generation student on Pell Grants, left my job as a journalist to move halfway across the world and work for a peacebuilding nonprofit in Israel-Palestine, and helped a queer Jewish woman beat the pants off of Moms for Liberty as the comms strategist for her school board race, running 40 points ahead of the Democratic US Senate candidate in her district.
Yes — I have helped clients multiply their engagement on social media in a matter of months.
Yes — I craft emails and subject lines that earn industry-leading open rates.
Yes — I saved my company $10,000 a year by letting them fire their graphic design firm, because I could do beautiful, engaging, clean design just as well and twice as fast.
No — I cannot be as responsive as a full-time staff person, but I can be just as committed to and integrated into your team.
My journalism training (B.A. from the University of Florida School of Journalism) taught me to turn around work quickly and accurately. My nonprofit leadership training (M.A. from American University) helps me understand high-level strategy and how to weave it into every piece of communications.
You’re trying to change the world and look good doing it. You’ve got a tight budget and the work needs to be done yesterday, but your mission is too important to cut corners — you need sharp copy and engaging design, because you’re building a movement, and movements need stories and visuals that include and inspire.
You need someone who works with a journalist’s speed and precision and a creative’s vision and inventiveness. A rigorous implementer who will understand and apply your strategy like a member of the team. Someone who is uncompromisingly professional but unapologetically unafraid to think divergently.
You have a story that deserves to be told well for a reasonable price — not just for your own sake, but those you serve.
I've got you covered. I’m here to help you do it. Reach out for a free consultation — I love meeting new people!
