Talented Strategies® brings two disciplines under one governance structure: a media division that
produces and places credible public narrative, and a strategy division that advises leadership teams on
positioning, policy, and organizational direction.
Engagements are staffed from a single bench, so media production and strategic counsel arrive as one
recommendation rather than two disconnected workstreams.
Positioning and narrative
Define what an organization stands for, then express it consistently across every audience that
matters.
Board and governance counsel
Support directors and executive committees through succession, restructuring, and public
accountability.
Broadcast and podcast production
Develop, record, and release long-form programming with editorial standards that hold up to scrutiny.
Editorial and thought leadership
Draft commentary, research summaries, and keynote material in the leader's own voice.
Executive media preparation
Rehearse interviews, testimony, and town halls so leadership speaks with clarity under pressure.
Stakeholder engagement
Map the coalitions, regulators, and communities that decide whether an initiative succeeds.
Leadership
Dr. Kenneth Harris, Jr.
Founder and Chief Strategist, Talented Strategies®
Dr. Harris built the group around a simple conviction: an organization cannot communicate its way past a
weak strategy, and a strong strategy stays invisible without disciplined media. He works directly with
principals across both divisions, pairing academic rigor with the practical demands of leaders who
answer to boards, funders, and the public.
