Dunfey Group. Strategic Communications.

Dunfey Group is a strategic communications consultancy. I work with companies in the ski industry, maritime sector, government, and energy, including federal agencies and government contractors, who are facing communications problems that don’t have easy answers.

Chairlift evacuations. Offshore wind permitting. A thin snow year with cameras rolling. A federal agency that needs public outreach done right. A workforce pipeline nobody’s told the story of yet. The moments when what you say matters as much as what you do.


I’m not going to show up with a playbook I wrote for someone else.

I start by learning how your organization actually runs. Your goals, your operations, your people, your problems. I ask a lot of questions, even the uncomfortable ones, because I can’t help you communicate what I don’t understand.

I’m a naturally curious person, and that turns out to be the most useful thing I bring to this work. Most communications consultants will tell you what to say. I want to understand what you’re actually trying to do first. Then I’ll help you figure out how to say it, to whom, and when it matters most.


I know these industries because I’ve worked inside them.

I’ve run marketing for a state ski association, written for SAM (Ski Area Management) magazine, and worked with the suppliers, resorts, and technology companies that keep mountains running. I spent years as a VP at an international shipping company operating between Sweden and Singapore, and today I work with companies across the offshore wind supply chain, marine technology, aquaculture, and shipbuilding. I’ve managed public-facing communications for a $1.25 billion state government program under constant scrutiny.

That range is the point. Whether you’re a lift manufacturer, a port authority, a company working with federal agencies, a green energy company, or an organization building the next generation of outdoor recreation and workforce programs, I bring real operational knowledge to your communications, not just marketing language.

I work across the ski industry, maritime and offshore energy, government contracting, federal public affairs, workforce development, outdoor recreation education, and green energy. The common thread: the communications are complex, the audiences are demanding, and someone needs to make it make sense.

How I Work

Monthly retainer or fixed-price projects. SAM.gov registered small business. Senior strategist, directly. No junior staff, no hourly billing, no handoffs.


When you hire Dunfey Group, you get me.

I work on monthly retainer. You get a senior strategist who knows your organization and is available when things get complicated. I build strategies and frameworks your team can actually use. Plans that work when things get real, not a 50-page binder nobody reads.

I also take on select fixed-price projects for organizations that need focused, short-term strategic help. A lot of retainer relationships start there.

Dunfey Group is a SAM.gov registered small business available for federal contracts and subcontracting with prime contractors. If you’re a contracting officer or prime looking for strategic communications and public affairs support, I understand how government works because I’ve been on the inside.
