Hi. I'm Charlie, and I started InContext Communications, LLC, to help leaders of companies and organizations manage change, strengthen their internal culture and external reputation, and hit growth objectives through targeted storytelling, inspiring messaging, leader and presenter coaching, and the strategic use of traditional and social media.
Partner organizations come on board as needed, bringing change management, graphic design and other expertise. Julia (one of those partners - see below) uses the phrase "kitchen English" to describe one of ICC's core capabilities: writing simply and delivering a strong message via relevant channels at the right time. What we help clients do is get the message right.
From 2007 to 2019, I led communications for the Merck Manufacturing Division of about 20,000 people in 23 plants around the world. I supported the president and his leadership team, providing strategic counsel and producing critical executive, corporate continuity and crisis communications. We re-branded the division’s strategy, kept the focus on improving safety and quality, and boosted employee engagement.
Before Merck, I consulted at AstraZeneca (a sales force experimentation and effectiveness project), Independence Blue Cross (the rollout of a compliance effort), and Microsoft (a global sales team's communication portal). Journalism and teaching round out my resume.
InContext Communications is a fully insured Pennsylvania limited liability corporation that began operations in January 2020.
