Storytelling for brighter days ahead
Thoughtful public relations for story-led brands on the brink of something brighter
At Small Adventures Communications, we don’t just chase press — we unearth the real story.
We’re a boutique PR firm built for people and organizations doing powerful work behind the scenes — the ones holding it all together, moving the mission forward, and often too deep in the doing to tell their story well.
​
We help you go from near-burnout to breakthrough by crafting visibility strategies that feel true, nourishing, and unmistakably you.
​
Whether you’re a quiet powerhouse within a larger org or a founder blazing your own trail, we help you build a brand presence rooted in your unique voice — not just your job title.
​
Because the world deeply needs what you’re offering. And we make sure it sees you, hears you, and remembers you.
Our Core Services: Public Relations Expertise
If your work involves making the world a better place, we want to support you. At Small Adventures Communications, we offer a limited number of PR retainer partnerships each season for mission-driven organizations and individuals ready to show up with strategy, clarity, and heart. Whether you’re responding to timely issues or planning long-term visibility efforts, we bring experienced, thoughtful communications support to the table—so your impact gets the attention it deserves.
PR Strategy
​The right public relations strategy doesn’t shout — it shines. At Small Adventures Communications, we help mission-driven organizations, nonprofits, and small businesses craft magnetic messaging that sticks. With the right PR consultant by your side, your story gains momentum, your people find the words, and your audience rallies behind your mission. When your message resonates, supporters share it, champions show up, and big goals feel closer than ever.
PR Implementation
​When your team is growing — or just getting started — the day-to-day communications still matter. Hiring a contract PR consultant means you don’t have to sacrifice strategy for survival. Small Adventures Communications offers senior-level public relations support that keeps things moving, messages sharp, and visibility strong, so nothing gets dropped while your team levels up.
Strategic Storytelling
We help you share stories that feel true in your bones and spark real action. At Small Adventures Communications, our strategic storytelling process is built for clarity, comfort, and connection — whether you’re prepping for media, writing an op-ed, or finding the right words for the right moment. Stories are ancient for a reason: they help us reflect, connect, and rally. We’ll help you tell yours in a way that feels good and gets results.
Start Something Meaningful: Quick Strategy and Messaging Sessions
We tone down the stress on public relations for lean teams by helping them build comfortable and repeatable PR workflows so that they can reach more folks with their impact.
Workshops with heart, strategy, and soul.
At Small Adventures Communications, we offer practical, heart-forward workshops — including PR for Introverts, Storytelling for Impact, Crisis Communications Planning, and Media Training — tailored for mid-size nonprofits, mission-driven teams, and public service organizations. Based in Iowa and serving teams nationwide, we help diverse spokespeople show up with confidence, build community trust, and strengthen media relationships. Whether you're preparing for interviews or crafting compelling stories, we meet you where you are — and help your message travel farther.
Message Magic Sessions
​Message Magic Sessions help mission-driven humans turn lived experience into powerful, ready-to-use stories. In a 2-hour strategy session (plus follow-up), we craft a custom message library that supports you on stage, in the media, or in everyday conversation — so you can speak with purpose, clarity, and quiet confidence.
Rooted & Ready
Rooted & Ready is a 1:1 story ritual designed to help you anchor into one clear, compelling story that can carry your message across platforms — without overexplaining, shrinking, or spinning.
​
This isn’t a writing sprint or a PR formula.
It’s story stewardship — guided with care, depth, and devotion.
