Your story. Sharpened through strategy. Shared with purpose.
Helping leaders and organizations tell their story when it counts. Campaigns, films, speeches, big interviews. Ten years in TV news taught me what works. Now I use it to get you results - like donors, applicants, headlines, votes, and trust.
Most consultants study the media. I was the media.
For nearly a decade, I anchored and reported for ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates in major markets — including Charlotte's top-rated morning newscast — with national appearances on The Weather Channel and ABC News. I've interviewed thousands of people, from U.S. Presidents to community leaders to families on the best and worst days of their lives.
That experience taught me something most communications firms can't teach: what actually survives an interview, a crisis, and a campaign. Not just polished talking points — but honest stories, delivered well.
Today, Susanna Black Media helps leaders and organizations show up strategically: clear messaging, confident delivery, and communication that builds trust and gets results.
