My name is Alexa Hassink (she/her). I bring a decade of senior leadership experience in strategic communications for social impact. I’ve led strategies and initiatives for nonprofits, foundations, and UN agencies across 55 countries, with a focus on gender, equity, and human rights.

I help purpose-driven teams approach their communications with intention, clarity, and confidence. My ability to identify patterns, opportunities, and solutions helps me set my clients apart. Some examples of my work, I’ve:

• Built and led a nonprofit’s communications through 5x staffing growth, increasing their audience by 20% annually

• Catalyzed a B Corp’s 20% revenue increase, in one year

• Collaborated to build an organization’s brand-new digital marketing function to sustain training for social justice leaders

• Led human-centered, participatory communications strategy, renaming, and brand messaging work with organizations in the US, Lebanon, Rwanda, & Indonesia

• Founded and led a social impact communicator’s ‘best practices’ networking group, representing 25+ organizations

• Shaped stories in outlets from The New York Times to Teen Vogue

• Presented at the Sustainable Brands Conference, Women Deliver, and the UN Commission on the Status of Women

Before founding Alexa Hassink Strategies, I served as the Director of Partnerships & Strategic Communications for a purpose-driven creative agency (based in New York), and as the Director of Marketing & Communications for an international nonprofit (based in Washington, DC) focused on gender equality and healthy masculinity, with offices in 5 countries. I served as a Health Educator with the Peace Corps in Morocco, and hold a BA in Communications & Psychology from the University of Delaware.
