Testimonials

“Daria has the special ability to take seemingly disparate sets of data and research and, magically, turn them into a coherent strategy. Her clear-eyed approach to complex communications situations delivers highly executable results. Her writing is superb, and I value her sharp, analytical mind as a partner when wrestling with challenging client needs. She is among the best thinkers with whom I have worked.”
–Sheila Strand, Strand Communication Strategies

“I hired Daria to assist us with content and to help develop a marketing piece. Daria took the time to thoroughly understand our company–where it was almost 7 years ago and the direction we were headed in. This led to messaging that was on target, and reflected both our values and brand personality.”
–Melissa Marcello, Pursuant Research

“I worked with Daria when I was the managing director for the NAM Center for Workforce Success and we were producing publications for a business audience about the critical nature of targeted workforce development. Daria understands business models and workforce development issues, was entirely comfortable (and expert at) reaching out to and working with heads of employer associations, and did a great job of taking research and polling data and pulling it into simple English for broader dissemination.”
–Stacey Wagner, JarrettWagner Group, LLC

“I worked with Daria in 2006-2008 when I was the communications director for the Reston Association and she was hired to assist as a strategic advisor on a very difficult referendum that we were conducting. We faced challenges, including the fact that the information was difficult to understand (the Governing Documents–an 80 page legal document) and there were multiple issues that the community was having a hard time getting their arms around. We also needed to step back and look at how we were providing the information and reaching out to the community before asking for their vote on the referendum. Steigman Communications was the right solution for Reston Association. We were provided invaluable strategic support with advice and counsel that was always sound, relevant, and effective. And the results were positive; the campaign ended up being successful effort and the referendum passed.

“Steigman Communications also developed an overall Communications Plan for RA, conducting comprehensive research, and delivering a SWOT analysis and a detailed plan. I would work with Daria and Steigman Communications again and highly recommend her as a results-oriented strategist with an excellent track record.”
