Meg Sutherland
@megsutherland
I craft brand-forward communications and writing that drive engagement, partnerships, and measurable business outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a communications specialist and writer who builds clear, compelling content strategy across internal and external audiences. At the DoD—Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) via Trust Consulting Services, I developed quarterly newsletter and town hall communications, ensured compliance with 508 C requirements, and edited partnership materials that connect universities with the Chief Intelligence Officer’s Collegiate Partnership & Academic Program. I also supported high-stakes outreach initiatives by coordinating dialogues, creating SharePoint content, and developing toolkit supplements that inform and activate student career centers.
As Principal at Spark Collaborative, LLC, I led the national book launch of The Victory of Greenwood—securing funding, assembling teams, and providing creative authority across campaigns that helped the book become an OK best seller and draw national interest. Previously, as a Public Relations Specialist for DHS (CISA) via LMDA Agency, I conceptualized and executed cybersecurity outreach, authoring Cybersecurity Awareness Month materials and delivering measurable impact across leads, web traffic, toolkit downloads, and social impressions. Across every role, I align PR, marketing, and content development with business goals to strengthen relationships, elevate storytelling, and drive results.
