Hi, I'm Tracey Robinson-English, a seasoned strategic communications and media professional based in Chicago, IL. With a rich career spanning journalism, public relations, and content strategy, I specialize in crafting compelling narratives and forums that drive measurable social impact and elevate organizational reputation. My expertise lies in aligning content strategy with mission-driven goals, ensuring that stories and marketing collateral inspire action.

If you've landed here, you've found the right person with dedication, empathy, and deep industry experience to turn around underperforming scenarios and amplify voices.  I save time by streamlining processes, mentoring teams, identifying growth opportunities in adversity, and executing project management of social impact initiatives.

Bringing inclusive leadership and resilience, I aim to leverage my expertise and insights from recent international travel observing humanitarian causes to work with leading foundations, NGOs, and socially conscious companies to create powerful, purpose-driven communication strategies that resonate globally.

Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with sectors in media, healthcare, government, academia, corporate, community, and philanthropy to navigate complex reputational challenges. Previously,  I was a national general assignment news reporter in major newsrooms, including Newsweek, Ebony, The Chicago Sun-Times, and CBS-TV affiliates.  I am also a subject matter expert for social impact on LinkedIn and founded Depth, a monthly opinion column.

My portfolio showcases a selection of my work, reflecting a commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of the nuances required to thrive in the social impact sector.
