Hello, I'm Laura
Let's get started!
For nine years, I regularly stood at starting lines, anticipating the unknown. As a track athlete, I trained for every race, but uncertainties always remained—competition, weather, even shoes coming untied (yes, that happened... more than once).
​
Races are unpredictable, but being prepared with the help of good training partners is key.
​
While my track spikes have long been retired, I've found the same pressure in my world of marketing and communications. I firmly believe EVERY ORGANIZATION needs a communications professional on their team to be successful, but not all can afford one full-time.
​
I understand—I've started businesses and worked in ministries, nonprofits, and political campaigns. That's why I created Starting Line Communications: to offer organizations the best beginning for their race.
Let's start your race together!
We Might Be a Good Match If You Are...
Flexible on Time

As my side business, I create a realistic timeline with my clients, but ask for grace too. I work 4 days/week at my regular job... not to mention I'm raising three kids.
On A Budget
Because this is a side gig, I offer very competitive rates. In exchange for your time flexibility, I make my services realistic to those with lower budgets.
Looking to Learn
I empower my clients to manage their content moving forward (but I offer follow-up services as well). If you are looking to maintain your communication systems on your own moving forward, I will teach you how.
How It Works
Here is a quick overview of the process.
Step 1: Connect
Discovery Call
We will meet (probably virtually) and discuss your needs. I will ask lots of questions and provide a questionnaire for you to complete.
Step 2: Propose
Price Quote
After we meet, if we think working together will be a good fit, I will create a personalized price quote for you. It will include all elements of your project with timelines and expectations. You can then choose to accept, reject, or discuss adjustments.
Step 3: Gather
Content Collection
Now we are ready to move forward! This is the hardest step for you. You will gather all the needed content. Don't worry, though; I can help guide you through these decisions.
Step 5: Revise
Adjustments & Changes
My clients are usually pretty happy with their initial designs, but there is always room for improvement. We will fine-tune your project until we have it right.
Step 4: Design
Project Comes Alive
Now you sit back and relax while I go to work! This is where I take all your ideas and make them come beautifully to life.
Step 6: Launch & Learn
Show The World
Once we are happy with the project, I will help you showcase it to your audience. I will also go into teacher mode and ensure you know how to maintain your resources. **Or you can hire me to maintain it for you!**
