We help leaders find their voice — and use it to change the world. Let's get to work.
About Us
Fenway begins and ends with a love of the written word. Founded a decade ago by two senior members of the Obama administration, today we’re a crack team of more than a dozen speechwriters who cut their teeth at the highest levels of politics and public service. Each of us knows firsthand the power of words to change the world. Together, we work with exceptional leaders and organizations to do just that by helping them articulate who they are and what they stand for—and be the best, most authentic version of themselves.
Our team has worked alongside U.S. presidents, governors, senators, mayors, and international heads of state. We’ve penned books that became instant New York Times Bestsellers. We’ve collaborated with Fortune 100 CEOs, nonprofit presidents, athletes, and entertainers ahead of their biggest moments. We’ve prepped politicians for must-win debates and high-wire testimonies. And we’ve scripted multi-day broadcast events that have captured the eyes of the world.
It’s easy to be disillusioned by the state of public discourse—the meaningless jargon, the poll-tested gibberish, and the disinformation designed to make the world feel hostile and chaotic. But no matter the communications climate, our mission remains the same: to craft messages and stories that rise above the noise and the cynicism to help good people and good causes make a positive, lasting impact. 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
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. Our goal is to help you not only sound like a human being, but one worth following. 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.
Speechwriting
Speechwriting is our first love. Whether you’re preparing a TED Talk, keynoting a conference, delivering a commencement at your alma mater, accepting a lifetime achievement award, hosting an all-hands, or even addressing a joint session of Congress, we can help you leave a lasting impression. Our approach is high-touch, personal, and collaborative. We learn everything we can about you and tune our ears to your voice. We tease out the stories and do the research that will bring your point of view to life. And then we put pen to paper, revising until we all love the final product.
Message Development
Being a great writer starts with being a great listener. We can help synthesize different perspectives from across your organization into a single, compelling narrative that advances your specific objectives. We conduct an audit of your current communications, 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 is one to remember. 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 could contract 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 alternative. Our team functions a lot like a tight-knit writers’ room you’d find at a campaign headquarters or on a studio lot. We pool our collective brain power and creativity. We work quickly and collaborate seamlessly. And while we don’t take ourselves too seriously, the quality of our work is a different story. Unlike other agencies, you won’t find any junior staff here. Each member of Fenway is a seasoned, pressure-tested pro. We’ve designed our team to be small and nimble so that we can more easily work as an extension of yours—and give every project our absolute best, every time.
- 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.
