Discover how, together, we can transform…

Your vision.

Clarified. Realized. Reimagined.

Organizations don’t struggle because they lack good ideas. Often, growth stalls because there’s a disconnect across key organizational functions. A problem that appears to be marketing may begin in operations. A fundraising challenge may actually be a donor-experience problem. And a communications problem may point to a larger gap in strategy.

We’ll look across the customer, donor, or member journey to identify what’s getting in the way, uncover hidden opportunities, and determine where to focus first.

Assess

Identify the Gaps & Opportunities

We’ll examine your customer, donor, or member journey across key organizational functions to identify gaps, uncover opportunities, and determine what may be limiting growth.

You’ll receive a customized strategic plan with prioritized recommendations to address the gaps, capitalize on opportunities, and better connect the functions that shape your customer experience.

"She didn’t just help with marketing and communications—she directed the entire rebuild with clarity and conviction. That kind of honest, strategic guidance is rare. I genuinely don’t think the rebrand would have landed the way it did without her in my corner."

— Remi Rory, Founder and Coach, MNEFitcamp

Hi and welcome!
I'm Christy Amada, Founder and Chief Strategist of Amada Development Services, LLC.

Throughout my career in education, nonprofit leadership, communications, marketing, fundraising, and consulting, I've found that the work I am most passionate about is helping organizations solve problems, uncover opportunities, and strengthen the relationships that help them thrive.

I'm a problem solver at heart. I love partnering with leaders and teams to understand what's working, what's not, and what may be getting in the way of growth. Often, the challenge that first gets our attention is only part of the story. By looking across strategy, operations, marketing, communications, and the customer, donor, or member experience, I help identify gaps and opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

My approach begins with understanding your organization: its mission, goals, audiences, challenges, and aspirations. From there, we'll determine where to focus, develop a practical strategy, and identify the steps needed to move forward. And if you need hands-on support, I can work alongside you and your team to help put that strategy into action.

If you're ready to take a fresh look at what's possible for your organization, I'd love to help. I look forward to meeting you!

Warm regards,
Christy
