Me&Paul is a one-person strategy, design, and build studio helping purpose-driven leaders and social entrepreneurs turn their beliefs into compelling brands, deeply-woven strategies, and a digital foundation they can keep building on.
Brand Strategy
Your brand is the accumulated gravity of every promise you keep and every story you tell. Our strategic work together will go deep on mission, positioning, audiences, and the cultural forces shaping your work — so what emerges unifies your business or your organization, guides your communications, and makes your purpose tangible and unmistakable.
Digital Strategy & WordPress
Your website needs to move people to act, but it doesn’t need to be over-engineered. Research, strategy, user experience, and design all come together as the foundation for WordPress customization projects that get your message in front of the right people — and inspire them to take action.
Content Design & Messaging
Words, data, and stories are powerful tools when they’re working together to weave the right narratives. Brand messaging, content strategy, data storytelling, and digital reports give your brand both logical and emotional dimensions to connect with audiences.
Scoping & Planning
Taking on a large website redesign? It’s good to know what’s working before you start throwing things out. I use research, interviews, analytics data, assessments, measurable business goals to develop a clear but flexible scope and project budget so you can pursue investments with confidence — and without surprises.
Operations & Process
Operational problems and solutions are systemic, not siloed. Inefficiency is expensive, and most teams often don’t see it clearly until it’s costing them. I’ll identify the gaps, help you design better processes, and build the change management plans that help your team work together — and deliver better.
1-on-1 Coaching
Purpose-driven leaders are connected to their work in ways that makes them feel alive, but they can lose their grounding in the process. Coaching is how we help you stay connected on your journey — to your purpose, your role, and the work only you can do.
Managing Special Projects
Some projects are too important to leave to chance. I serve as a fractional project lead, bringing a lens that spans strategy, brand, design, user experience, technology, and audience needs — so the work can stay on time, budget, and in scope.
If you’re a builder, seeker, leader, or insider at a nonprofit or a purpose-led company, digital agency, or consultancy looking to grow, let’s talk.
I’m Paul Sternberg — a strategist, designer, and builder who works with nonprofits, social entrepreneurs, and founders whose work is inseparable from their impact. I’ve been a co-founder of a digital agency and helped scale it to 50 people. I’ve worked with more than 60 organizations, fifteen colleges and universities, and businesses of all sizes. And what I’ve learned is that the best ideas often come from unexpected places — commercial brand strategy applied to mission-driven work, nonprofit storytelling practices employed by companies putting their mission first, cultural analyses, frameworks from one world translated for another. The people doing the most important work in the world need the right support, right where they are, so they can focus on building something that lasts.
