Founder And Ceo
CurrentStephanie Heinatz, founder of Consociate Media, a Virginia-based public relations and communications consulting firm, cut her teeth as a newspaper journalist. Whether working on assignment in her own hometown, or in remote areas of East Africa or war-torn Iraq, Stephanie believed one thing – stories are the most powerful way to reach people and inspire change. She brings that same strategy to Consociate Media, where she specializes in working with business owners to tell their stories across a wide range of new and traditional media. Before founding Consociate Media, Stephanie also served as a Strategic Communications and Media Training Consultant / Contractor for the U.S. Defense Department and led the corporate communications for a large healthcare organization. Stephanie draws on her experience as a reporter – developing strategic content and asking the right questions – and as a writer – crafting those compelling stories – to connect her clients to the customers they need to reach.
