Caroline Barnhill started talking at nine months old and hasn’t let up since. She has nearly 20 years of experience in writing, editing, media relations, media training, thought leadership and more. After working at one of the world’s largest PR firms, and later as a communications officer for the state’s largest university, Caroline quickly discovered that there is a missing market for strategic communications services supporting small- to mid-sized businesses—so she made one. And her phone’s been ringing off the hook ever since. 

 

Caroline’s writing can be seen in Raleigh Magazine, the Triangle Business Journal, NC State magazine and other outlets. Her clients have been featured in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, the News & Observer, and Money magazine. Additionally, she has worked with a variety of clients developing web copy, launching social media programs, managing media relations, producing internal communication documents, writing speeches and more.

 

And she’s always up for a challenge. Caroline has written about how artificial intelligence is changing the legal industry, the state of the Triangle’s mergers & acquisitions market, and the impact of feral pigs on eastern North Carolina farmers. (Yes, it’s a thing.) But she’s also helped a small tourism-focused company market their services to a specific client base, served as lead writer for a top research university's 10-year strategic plan, and helped a small, rural community college land an important grant – enabling them to continue their critical work of serving their local community. 

 

She loves all aspects of communications and public relations, but her true passion is in helping her clients tell their stories.
