EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS & STRATEGIC ADVISOR
Strategic perspective.
Proven experience.
Real impact.
I’m Misann Ellmaker. Throughout my career, I’ve helped executive leaders navigate defining moments and communicate with clarity, confidence and purpose.
I help organizations communicate
with purpose and achieve what matters most.
Communications has the power to build trust, drive alignment and accelerate results. But in today’s environment, it also comes with complexity, scrutiny and risk.
I partner with CEOs and leadership teams during times of growth, change and transformation. Whether serving as a strategic advisor or fractional communications leader, I bring the experience, judgment and perspective needed to cut through complexity and move organizations forward.
My approach is executive-level, outcome-focused and tailored to your goals — because communications should be a catalyst for impact, not just an activity.

MY CAREER
From building programs to advising leadership teams.
My career began in professional baseball, where I learned early that successful communications often depend less on what you say than on your ability to build trust among people with different priorities.
At Minor League Baseball, I progressed from Administrative Assistant to Director of Licensing within six months and later served as Chief of Staff and strategic advisor to the President. I went on to negotiate the landmark partnership with Major League Baseball Advanced Media that created the unified MiLB.com digital network — and was recruited by MLBAM's CEO to lead it.
That experience established a pattern that has continued throughout my career: organizations entrusting me with increasingly complex challenges involving leadership, transformation, reputation and change.
Today, I bring that experience to executive leadership teams through
Imagine Consulting & Communications.
WHAT MATTERS TO ME
Communications can create business value and meaningful impact.
I believe the strongest communications come from leaders who genuinely
believe in what they're asking others to believe.
That's why I'm especially interested in partnering with organizations whose
missions improve people's lives, strengthen communities and make a
positive impact on the world.
Organizations I've supported include:
-
World Central Kitchen
-
Great American Teach-In
-
Pinellas County Schools
-
Girl Scouts of America
-
The Humane Society
-
The Spring of Tampa Bay
-
St. Jude Marathon Heroes
