Executive Advisor

Overview

Here, your work doesn’t just inform — it elevates the programs that support Kentuckians every day. You’ll help shape the messages behind Kentucky’s most meaningful public initiatives, working at the center of a communications team that drives impact across the Commonwealth.

This is not a traditional state government Public Affairs office. We coordinate messaging and communications strategies for major Cabinet initiatives and smaller programs housed in Kentucky’s largest state agency. Our work spans issues from public and mental health to foster care, elder care, Medicaid, and much more.

We use a wide range of platforms to tell these stories — websites, professional video production, social media, paid advertising campaigns, conferences and summits, traditional articles, media relations, and stakeholder engagement. No two days look the same, and every project gives you the chance to make a real difference.
