What does the Avant Solutions team do?

We help leaders, including CEOs, CMOs, Executive Directors and leadership teams inside nonprofits, small businesses, government and even large corporations get better at crafting, framing and sharing their messages.

Here’s how we do it:

We help you say what matters. We help you create clear messages that genuinely connect with the people you want to reach.
We get you ready for the spotlight. We teach you how to talk to the media, your employees, the board, the community — with confidence — even if it feels scary at first.
We help get your message out there. We work to get your story in newspapers, on TV, on the radio, in podcasts, online and in the places and spaces your audience is already waiting to hear them.
We build your plan. We help you create a SMART communication plan — and show you how to use it to see if it’s working.
We grow your skills. We help you become a stronger, more confident communicator — even if you don’t know where to start.

In short, we help you share your story in the right way, with the right people — so you can achieve the results you want.

Testimonials

Nothing says more about the communications strategies we build than the people who have watched the work unfold and witnessed the success. Here are some recent testimonials.

Julie Sigmon

Director at Omaha STEM Ecosystem

“Monique is a truly dedicated and highly skilled communication professional. As the Director of the Omaha STEM Ecosystem (OSE), I worked with Monique for the past 3 years, as she volunteered as the Chair of the Communication Committee.

The OSE, as a new organization, had not yet developed a communication/PR plan. Monique’s strong leadership skills lead the collective group of committee members to draft a communication plan to include a clear and concise message mapping, marketing materials, connecting OSE in a monthly article in the OPS newsletter and updated website message. She was committed to our organization’s mission and helped us secure a grant from the Nebraska Chapter of PR Society of America. It has been a pleasure working with her, and I look forward to future projects with her.”

Stephen Watson

Realty Specialist at Naval Facilities Engineering Command

“While working for the Army Corps of Engineers in Omaha, Nebraska, I was fortunate to observe Monique’s capacity to excel as a leader within a limited timeframe. As Chief of Public Affairs, Monique displayed an impeccable example for professionalism and work ethic during a highly sensitive flood event. Essentially, my observation of Monique helped to inspire me to embrace challenging opportunities, while incorporating her qualities in my work. I believe Monique is a beacon for anyone’s career path.”

“Monique brings a strong wealth of knowledge and a calm, personable demeanor to communication challenges. She joined my team of writers at Hope for Women as a freelance writer during the startup stages and has since become a career colleague, advisor and personal friend. I’ve reached out to her on more than one occasion for advice and counsel on how to manage challenging PR situations. Her advice is always spot on. In addition to her expert knowledge, she approaches her work with an inherent passion for the craft and a customer-service first approach to the clients she serves. ”
