Our Clients Say.
"
We brought MSH on board at a critical time for Flood Safe Columbia River Initiative. In a changing climate, we needed to raise funds to upgrade flood control infrastructure and introduce a new form of government. Noah mapped out a thoughtful and successful strategy to get this done."

Executive Director, Multnomah County Drainage District
"
Noah was part of a consultant team that worked closely with state agencies to implement ambitious housing supply goals in Oregon. This included drafting a recommendations report that informed the Governor’s housing production package, as well the production of tools to communicate complex housing policy to a broad audience. Noah played a critical role in strategic messaging to decision-makers and the public. His contributions were vital to the project’s success.

The Port hired Noah and partners to provide communications strategy and support for the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition and a successful $41.4 million federal grant application.

The Oregon chapter of The Nature Conservancy has turned to MSH on several occasions to assist with our communications needs. Noah helped us by assessing our marketing approach and structure, and helping us understand what an evolution from marketing to more strategic communications could mean for advancing our conservation strategies. He also supported our communication strategy for an acquisition of a large ranch in Eastern Oregon as well as the extension of Marine Reserves on the Oregon coast. Noah is exactly what you would hope for in an advisor–dedicated, sincere, and willing to speak the truth.
