MARKET YOUR MISSION.
STRENGTHEN YOUR IMPACT.
CARENA STEWART
Purpose-driven marketing and communications that inspire action
I’m a marketing and communication strategist whose heart beats for wildlife, the environment, and the people who do the work to protect them.
With a background in corporate communications and marketing, I bring experience across content development, internal communications, event planning, and strategic messaging helping translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.
I approach my work with authenticity, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset—valuing strong relationships, thoughtful communication, and continuous learning.
WHAT I DO
Nonprofits are doing incredible work—but often without the time or resources to fully invest in telling their story. Marketing and communications teams are frequently understaffed, underfunded, or stretched across too many priorities.
I partner with organizations to fill that gap—offering flexible, strategic support when and where it’s needed. Whether you’re launching a campaign, refining your messaging, or just need an extra set of hands, I bring a fresh perspective and thoughtful storytelling approach to help your work reach further.
Marketing Strategy
Strong marketing and communications require structure and consistency. I support organizations with strategic messaging, internal alignment, and engagement tracking.
Event Marketing
Have an event coming up and want to reach the right audience? I support organizations with event messaging, promotion, and post-event engagement and content.
Impact Report Support
Whether you need your report laid out beautifully or an active partner in creating and writing its content based in CDP, GRI, SASB, TSFD, or USDG frameworks, I can provide personalized support for your organization.
Content Development
Clear, consistent content builds trust. I help environmental organizations translate complex ideas into accessible, mission-aligned messaging across platforms.
WHY I CARE
My connection to sustainability started
long before my career did.
I grew up in Arizona riding horses and hiking desert trails—spending most of my time outdoors. Those early experiences shaped how I see the environment: resilient, beautiful, and worth protecting. Visiting Pennsylvania every summer and learning about its forests and wildlife expanded that perspective and deepened my curiosity about ecosystems and regional impact.
Even in third grade, I was creating Earth Day posters about eco-friendly habits (and proudly winning the competition). What started as childhood interest became something much more intentional over time.
As a professional, I’ve pursued formal sustainability coursework, collaborated on ESG communications, and founded and led an environmental sustainability employee resource group within a global company. I’ve helped educate teams, support environmental initiatives, and communicate impact clearly and responsibly.
I believe environmental work deserves thoughtful communication—messaging that is honest, strategic, and grounded in real impact.
Supporting mission-driven organizations isn’t just professional for me. It’s personal.
TESTIMONIALS
PROJECTS
Dazzle Africa
Dazzle Africa partnered with me to create its 2025 Annual Impact Report, showcasing its work supporting ecosystems, wildlife, and communities. I transformed complex impact data, stories, and imagery into a polished, engaging digital report that strengthened donor trust, clearly communicated the organization’s impact, and could be easily shared with stakeholders and updated in the future.
Working Deliverables:
Designed report using brand guidelines up to 40 pages long
One-pager overview of report
Social media post to promote report via LinkedIn, Facebook,
and Instagram
Ogallala Land and Water Conservancy
The Ogallala Land and Water Conservancy partnered with me to strengthen its digital presence and expand engagement around groundwater conservation in Eastern New Mexico. While gaining traction through conferences, the organization needed a clearer online strategy to grow visibility, build trust with landowners, and better communicate its impact and mission.
EB Research Partnership
I developed a social media content plan for EB Research Partnership to support an event raising awareness and funding for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The project transformed event-day photos and videos into compelling content across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, highlighting community impact and driving ongoing support through clear, mission-driven storytelling.
