If your message isn’t moving people to feel, act, or believe—it's just noise.

At Kinspire Strategies, we don’t just craft communications, we shape connection. Led by trusted strategist Kerri Schaffer, we help you tell the right story at the right time to build trust, create alignment, and drive meaningful momentum.

Clarity. Credibility. Connection.

You’re not just here to communicate. You’re here to lead, inspire, and bring people with you.

That’s why founders, changemakers, and campaigns turn to Kinspire Strategies when the message matters most, when trust is on the line, and clarity is non-negotiable.

The Power of Connection

At Kinspire Strategies, everything starts with connection.

“Kin” speaks to trust, belonging, and the relationships that make impact possible. “Inspire” is about storytelling that stirs emotion, sparks thought, and moves people to act.

I’ve spent my career helping leaders and changemakers turn ideas into action. To make an impact. To build trust. To rally teams. To lead through change.

Whether you’re launching something new or navigating a moment that matters, I’m here to help you communicate with clarity, credibility and heart.

Meet Kerri Schaffer

I started Kinspire Strategies with a simple belief: connection is everything. I’ve seen firsthand how the right message—delivered at the right time—can build trust, inspire action, and spark lasting change.

My background spans Fortune 100 companies, grassroots campaigns, and everything in between. Over the years, I’ve shaped narratives for global brands, launched campaigns from the ground up, and helped leaders align their people with purpose.

But what drives me most is people. I care deeply about helping others feel seen, heard, and inspired. That’s the ethos of my work, and the foundation of every partnership I take on. From boardrooms to ballot boxes, I’m not just an advisor, I’m a hands-on partner who brings structure, momentum, and creativity when and where you need it most.

Beyond the strategist title, I’m proud to be a daughter, sister, friend, and mentor. These roles keep me grounded and remind me what connection really means.
