Strategic Communications in Salt Lake City, UT
Clarity in communication is the foundation of effective leadership. Shane Kinkennon provides strategic communications services that help Salt Lake City organizations deliver messages that inspire trust, sharpen alignment, and drive measurable impact - both inside the organization and with external stakeholders.
Clarity in Communication, Built for Salt Lake City Teams
Salt Lake City organizations are growing fast - startups, healthcare systems, and nonprofits all moving at a rapid pace. That speed makes staying aligned more difficult, and when communication breaks down, momentum quickly stalls. Clear, consistent messaging isn’t optional - it’s the key to keeping teams focused and moving forward with confidence.
We help leaders cut through distractions and shape messages that drive action. Whether it’s internal communication, stakeholder engagement, or executive messaging, the goal is always the same: clarity people can trust and act on. No jargon. No cookie-cutter scripts. Just intentional, practical communication that connects, motivates, and builds alignment across your organization..
Clarity You Can Put Into Action
Define objectives that are concrete and achievable, not just inspiring words
Build team alignment that continues well beyond the planning session
Establish clear ownership with next steps tied directly to accountability
Reduce the cycle of stalled discussions and create steady forward momentum
Foster conversations that lead to stronger decisions and long-term commitment
How the Work Happens
Every strong plan begins with focus, not noise. In Salt Lake City, we start by helping your team identify which messages and priorities matter most right now - and who needs to hear them. From there, we shape clear, actionable communication that eliminates confusion and drives real momentum.
Together, we refine the message, stress-test it for impact, and make sure it aligns across your leadership. Then, instead of leaving with a one-time plan, you gain a repeatable rhythm - so your team can keep communicating with confidence and purpose long after the session is over.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is strategic communications for Salt Lake City leadership teams?
It’s a practical, results-driven approach that helps leaders turn vision into messaging that actually sticks. Instead of vague talking points, strategic communication provides clarity, alignment, and momentum - so messages don’t just inform, they inspire action.
Who benefits most from this kind of support?
Executives, founders, boards, and mission-driven teams working through growth, change, or complexity. It’s especially valuable for leaders who need communication that strengthens alignment inside their organization while also resonating with external stakeholders.
How is this different from PR or marketing?
PR and marketing usually focus on campaigns and external visibility. Strategic communication is different - it’s about the conversations and alignment inside your leadership team that drive decisions, trust, and follow-through. When internal alignment is strong, the external impact becomes even greater.
When should a team consider bringing in a facilitator?
If your team’s conversations keep circling without resolution, if messaging feels inconsistent, or if growth has outpaced alignment, it’s the right time. Strategic communication helps reset the process, sharpen focus, and provide traction exactly when it’s most needed.
What happens during a strategic communications session?
We identify the messages that matter most, shape them into clear language, and stress-test them for impact. The result is messaging that cuts through noise, keeps everyone aligned, and drives consistent execution long after the session.
What outcomes can Salt Lake City leaders expect?
Expect sharper decision-making, fewer mixed messages, stronger trust across teams, and communication that motivates people to take action. You’ll leave with clarity that doesn’t fade once the meeting ends - it becomes part of how your team works every day.
