Your cause, ignited.
We believe in the power of story.
Many advocates underestimate the power of storytelling in driving social impact.
The ones who make the biggest difference, however, know that good communications is a catalyst to creating clear, globally accessible movements and driving impact.
Clarity Creative is led by award-winning public sector content strategist and storyteller Kate Varghese. We have experience writing, designing, and driving communications strategies for some of the biggest names in social impact.
From UN Agencies (UNDP, UNFPA), to foundations (The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Rockefeller Foundation) to established nonprofits (charity: water and Every Mother Counts) to start-up organizations and grassroots groups across the world.
Stories unlock empathy. Empathy unlocks action.
We help advocates and activists step back, define (or redefine) their messaging, and communicate more effectively at every level.
From brand identity core messaging to full multi-channel management, we take on only truly impact-focused clients.
We stop
at nothing
Developing a strong communications plan takes time and collaboration. Many groups struggle to gain consensus on the role of communications in their work, and how to maximize the investment on communications work. Whatever barriers you are facing, internal or external, we can tackle it, together.
We love
to explore
Finding a strategic approach to harnessing your story takes imagination. It takes patience. And, it takes a certain level of fun.
We meet you where you are, and explore the possibilities for impact-driven communications strategies together.
We keep
it simple
Strong stories are short, sweet, and to the point–and we’re not just talking about word count.
We wade through the weeds of your complex work to help refine your messaging. Drawing on years of communications direction, we center public engagement and ensure you speak clearly and powerfully to your target audience.
We take it
step-by-step
Kind words from folks doing the work:
“Kate is bright, eager, and a lot of fun. With her editing skills and sincere interest in changing the world, she was a real asset on our studios team…Equally comfortable whether she’s working with clear direction or left to manage and complete tasks on her own.”

“Kate brings valuable insight and fresh new ideas. She is a strong leader, and listens more than she talks…which to me is the sign of a strong communicator. She takes others’ thoughts into consideration and it makes her beloved in the office.”
