OUR STORY
Three decades of collaboration. One shared approach.
Three decades of collaboration. One shared approach.
Jonathan Goldbloom and Catherine Doyle first worked together in 1995. Over the next three decades, they built careers advising corporations, governments, universities, healthcare organizations and not-for-profits through growth, transformation, crises and change.
After years of collaborating on client projects, creating communications strategies and solving complex problems together, launching Avenue Strategic Communications felt like the natural next step.
Today, Avenue combines senior-level strategic advice with hands-on execution. Clients work directly with experienced consultants who understand their business, respond quickly, and become trusted members of their team.
We take our work seriously, but never ourselves.
