Hi, I’m Alexa Hassink (she/her).

I’m a strategic communications consultant for national and international nonprofits and UN agencies, and multilaterals focused on gender equity, violence prevention, and children's rights. I bring more than 15 years of communications leadership experience across 55 countries.

I help organizations like yours develop and implement communications strategies, refine brand messaging, understand audiences, and manage transitions – all to increase your impact.

You can hire me as a strategic comms advisor, a fractional chief communications officer, or to lead a communications or brand strategy project from start to finish.

My work has included:

• Building, managing, and mentoring high-performing communications teams and a networking group for social impact communicators

• Leading human-centered design workshops in the US, Lebanon, Rwanda, and Indonesia to align teams on strategy and messaging

• Driving organizational growth, including a 20% audience increase at an international nonprofit and a 20% revenue boost at a B Corp

• Renaming a national summit to unite US nonprofits and philanthropies around collective power

• Leading international campaigns that have shaped national policy, gained top-tier coverage (NYT, Teen Vogue), and earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title

• Sharing insights at global events like Sustainable Brands, Women Deliver, and the UN Commission on the Status of Women

Before starting Alexa Hassink Strategies, I was the Director of Partnerships & Strategic Communications at a creative agency in New York. I also served as the Director of Marketing & Communications at an international nonprofit in Washington, DC, focused on gender equality and healthy masculinity.

I was a Health Educator with the Peace Corps in Morocco and hold a BA in Communications & Psychology from the University of Delaware.
