What you say matters – today and to shape post COVID-19 society

Covid-19 is claiming lives and devastating economies--and we will build back better.  How will you?​
Leaders dedicated to social good need to effectively communicate their ideas and solutions. Your target audiences deserve to:

Opinion pieces placed in influential media can reframe the debate and effect change in policy, programs and behavior. What you say and how it is heard matters. 
 
Let Bee-Advocacy partner with you to craft content that elevates your voice and ideas. Contact us today to work together: 
​+  Write impactful op-eds

TESTIMONIALS

Prabhat Labh
Chief Executive Officer
​Grameen Foundation India
"A natural leader and a deep thinker, Bee Wuethrich always demonstrates deep engagement and ownership with her work. Through her innovative initiatives, she led from the front the entire process of creating a powerful re-branding campaign that helped forge a new identity for Grameen Foundation after its merger with Freedom from Hunger. She has been a thoughtful and empowering colleague throughout her years at Grameen Foundation."

Jennifer Duncan
Africa Region Director, Landesa
​
"Bee Wuethrich is an extremely talented development communications expert, whose leadership was invaluable to Landesa's Focus on Land in Africa work. She understands how to reach target audiences, and is strong and creative in both design and execution of communications strategies. Bee is a skillful writer, and seamlessly integrates use of a broad array of communications tools."

Maxwell Gomera
Director of the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Branch at UN Environment

"It would be impossible to count all the ways that Bee has helped us.  I remember that day in Jo'burg, when I submitted what I thought was a cracker of a piece. She looked at me and with the grace and kindness that I have come to associate with her, and said, 'Max this is a good write up, but it is not an Op-Ed.'  From there on, we were on a roll! Together we have produced wonderful pieces that have surprised and enlightened readers and provoked many debates.  I only hope I can continue to draw on her vision and encouragement."​

Andrew Quinn
Director, New Voices Fellowship, the Aspen Institute

"Bee's mentorship of Aspen New Voices Fellows has been outstanding. She brings out the best in the Fellows, guiding them through a process of sharpening their messages, their writing and their public speaking, resulting in published OpEds and successful public appearances--and she is there to provide moral support and encouragement every step of the way."
