We help leaders find their voice — and use it to change the world. Let's get to work.
About Us
Fenway was built to be a different kind of communications firm. We were born of the hope, the optimism, and the elevated, exciting, and precise rhetoric of the Obama presidency. In the years since, we’ve evolved and adapted to help leaders slice through a public discourse that’s increasingly bloated with meaningless jargon, poll-tested gibberish, and disinformation designed to make the world feel chaotic, cynical, and unpredictable. Whatever the communications climate, our mission remains the same: to craft messages and stories that rise above the noise, and to help you not only sound like a human being — but one worth following.
Founded and staffed by a tight-knit team of some of the most acclaimed and battle-tested speechwriters in modern history, Fenway begins and ends with a love for the written word. And every single day, we put all our skills to work for good leaders, companies, and organizations — helping them figure out who they are, what they stand for, and how to be the best, most authentic version of themselves. Over the past decade, our team has worked at the highest levels of politics and public service — alongside U.S. presidents and presidential candidates, governors, senators, mayors, and international heads of state. And we’ve partnered with some of the most prominent executives, founders, and organizations in the corporate, startup, nonprofit, academic, entertainment, and philanthropic sectors.
We’ve written books that became instant New York Times Bestsellers. Crafted newsmaking keynotes for Fortune 100 CEOs. Penned thought-leading op-eds in national publications. Prepped politicians for must-win debates and high-wire testimonies. And scripted multi-day broadcast events that captured the eyes of the world. We write on the right side of history — and we’ll work hard to make sure you’re proud of everything we accomplish together.
Who We Are
What We Do
Executive Communications + Thought Leadership
We still believe that words have the power to change the world. But a message is only as powerful as its messenger — and in today’s fractured and chaotic media landscape, it’s harder than ever for leaders to stand out. Whether it’s a social post, op-ed, statement, email, or website, we create the kind of content that will elevate your profile along with your cause. Whatever your area of expertise, we’ll immerse ourselves in it. We’ll learn not just what you want to say, but how — and why — you want to say it, so that you can make the most of every public opportunity, and make your mark on the world.
Speechwriting
Speechwriting is our first love. Whether you’re preparing a TED Talk, keynoting a conference, delivering a commencement, accepting an award, or even addressing a joint session of Congress, we’ve been there — and we can help you leave a lasting impression. Our approach is high-touch, personal, and collaborative. We tune our ears to your voice and learn everything we can about you. We tease out the stories and do the research that will bring your point of view to life. And above all else, we recognize that a great speech is about more than the words on the page — it’s instilling you with the confidence to be the best version of yourself.
Message Development
Critical to being a great writer is being a good listener. We can help synthesize different perspectives from across your organization into a single, compelling message that focuses it around a single goal. We conduct an audit of your current communications, and work with you to identify your core message, sharpen and simplify your story, and instill the discipline in your team to consistently articulate it in a way that resonates with distinct audiences and achieves your goals.
Coaching + Media Training
From presidential debates in prime time to award shows broadcast around the world, we’ve prepared a host of household names to take the stage for some of the highest-stakes appearances of their careers. Whatever your goals, we’ll help you step into the spotlight with the confidence to impress, inspire, and, most importantly, make your message stick — even under the brightest lights. Our training sessions go beyond well-worn tips and tricks for delivery to help you conduct your audience to focus not just on your delivery, but elevating actual content of what you want to communicate. In other words, we help you improve your storytelling by improving the story itself.
Events
We’ll help make sure your high-profile event goes off without a hitch. Our team has storyboarded and scripted dozens of live-streaming and televised events, major corporate conferences, global philanthropic gatherings, exhibitions, and festivals, and national political conventions. We can assemble a writers’ room filled with some of the most experienced and talented writers from across the industry — both on our team and across our network. We’ll make sure that every speaker shines, every segment drives a message, and every viewer leaves feeling called to action.
Our Approach
- If you’re reading this, you’re probably considering a few options:
- You can go with a big firm that bills itself as a one-stop-shop, only to find yourself getting cut-and-paste work, shunted off to junior staff, or feeling lost in the shuffle. You can go with a freelance writer, who may cost less, but won’t always provide the bandwidth, experience, reliability, or full breadth of talent you need. Or you can always give AI a shot. (Godspeed and good luck!)
- Fenway is the best-of-all-worlds option. We know our strengths, and we stick to them. We’ve intentionally kept our team small, which helps us more easily become an extension of yours, working quickly, creatively, and collaboratively — much like a writers’ room you’d find at the White House, in a campaign headquarters, or on a studio lot. Unlike most other agencies, you won’t find any junior staff here. Each member of our team is a seasoned, pressure-tested professional who has seen it all, and every one of them brings their brainpower and their wide-ranging expertise to every project, for every client.
- That's why our work makes headline news, trends on social channels, and inspires the kind of action that can lead to lasting change. And we’re there for you whenever you need us.
We wouldn't be speechwriters if we didn't end on a call to action: We're always on the lookout for incredible writers to join our team. So if you think that might be you, don't hesitate to drop us a line.
