About Us

We love what we do

Marian Anderson once said that leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it. Here at FCM, we do the work we do in workforce and education because fundamentally those involved in these fields seek to make lives better. We invite you to get to know our diverse team that is driven by their life experiences to make others’ lives better.

OUR FOCUS 

FCM is a national consultancy specializing in brand storytelling and strategic communications for those in the workforce, education and entrepreneurship sectors.

Our thought leadership builds the capacity of public and private sector organizations and nonprofits to make informed choices in how to best communicate the value of their respective brands and engage customers, partners and funders with their important missions.

Through our eFCM Learning Hub we ensure that our customers have the right skill sets to elevate the exposure, awareness and status of their brands and streamline efforts to gain higher returns on publicity and marketing investments.
