Creative strategist, experienced advocate & completely committed ally…
Core Beliefs
Craft your messaging with care. Words give shape to what’s possible, open minds to new meaning, and inspire action. When you’re intentional about what you say, your promise has power.
WORDS STILL MATTER
That’s right, SMALL. As in details, details, details. You already have the big idea - that’s why you’re doing what you’re doing. But the details are what will make your story stand apart.
THINK SMALL
Each interaction a member of your organization has with current and prospective stakeholders is an opportunity to represent your mission with passion and purpose.
EVERYONE IS AN AMBASSADOR
If you keep sight of why you started, who you serve, and being the best at what you do, the impact you make will run deeper and last longer.

Patrick Ward Dunphy | Owner & Principal
Prior to launching this venture in 2022, Patrick served as partner and strategy director for The Medley Project, a social impact branding, marketing, and design agency he co-founded and led with the company’s creative director. In addition to overseeing the establishment and institution of all internal business operations, client relations, and project management processes, Patrick facilitated a comprehensive rebrand for a federally-qualified community healthcare organization; served as lead copywriter tasked with crafting positioning and core messaging; and led the planning and execution of marketing, communications and fundraising campaigns.
Before Medley, Patrick held a multitude of integral roles over more than a decade working for a national not-for-profit education network during a time of consistent growth and expansion. There he built a unique skill set and ability to adapt through his work in development and fundraising, event planning and program implementation, stakeholder communications, board support and operations, strategic planning, project management, and more.
Informed by a unique perspective on the challenges many organizations face in securing the resources they need for strategic growth and long-term sustainability, Patrick is committed to helping partners create more meaningful engagement with more than their mission. He approaches this work with a willingness to take on any challenge and a belief that human-centered solutions are always the most enduring.
