About
I’m Susan Davis, a seasoned journalist and communications strategist with more than two decades of experience reporting from the front lines of American politics. I spent the first half of my career covering Congress, elections, and the pulse of Washington for some of the nation’s most respected news organizations.
I know how stories are shaped, how narratives influence public perception and how to cut through the noise. I’ve co-hosted top-rated podcasts, hosted live national news programs, and led coverage of some of the most consequential political moments of the last 20 years.
My firm advises clients on how to navigate the complexities of today’s communications environment, craft credible messages, identify the most important stakeholders and engage with those audiences in authentic, impactful ways. Whether you’re preparing for a high-stakes moment, developing or expanding a leader’s thought leadership platform, or managing communications through a crisis, I offer trusted guidance grounded in real-world insight.
