How the work moved

See the real problem. Then move it.

Plain stories from the work — not a pitch deck. Drafts for firm review before public lock.

Nature Conservancy of Canada Saskatchewan
  • Stuck NCC’s Saskatchewan work needed clearer relationships and a story people would trust — especially ranchers, rural communities, and government.
  • What we saw The issue wasn’t more meetings. It was knowing who mattered, what they cared about, and how to talk about conservation without sounding like land was being taken out of production.
  • What we did Talked to the people who matter. Mapped the relationships. Built a Saskatchewan story that holds: working landscapes stay working. Gave the team a clear plan and practice using it.
  • What changed They had a real plan to build relationships — and the partnership kept going. Fresh feedback from Andrea (lunch, just now) is landing — we’ll fold that in when Samantha shares it.
Momentum helped us see beyond the presenting issue and focus on the challenge that truly needed solving… They were highly responsive, moved at our pace, and remained a trusted partner throughout implementation. Andrea Laughren · Regional VP, NCC

Next: fold in the newest NCC results feedback once the firm finalizes public wording.

Caring Hearts Saskatchewan Grief, loss & trauma support
  • Stuck They needed a partner who would actually understand the work — not a generic communications firm that drops a report and leaves.
  • What we saw The work was bigger than messaging. They needed clear recommendations and someone who would stay for the implementation.
  • What we did Got inside the organization quickly. Delivered more than a traditional scope. Worked beside the team so changes stuck.
  • What changed Leadership calls it a game-changer. A full firm case study is in draft — this card will be replaced with the final version when locked.
Momentum has been a game-changer for Caring Hearts. They quickly gained a deep understanding of our work and delivered recommendations far beyond what we'd expect from a traditional communications firm. They work alongside us every step of the way. Keely Wight-Young · Executive Director, Caring Hearts Saskatchewan

Placeholder until the full Caring Hearts case study is locked for public use.

Elmwood Residences Community Hub · capacity to run the hard files
  • Stuck Biggest project in the organization’s history, live capital campaign, and political attention — with a team still carrying day-to-day operations.
  • What we saw They didn’t need Momentum to own every step forever. They needed tools and a clear way to run the work themselves.
  • What we did Built a fillable template for their budget submission. Gave them the structure and guidelines. Let them run with it — same pattern as the rest of the engagement: equip the team, don’t create dependency.
  • What changed They can move the file with clearer tools in hand. Doors that were hard to open started opening with a real communications and government-relations strategy behind them.

Strategy Is Easy to Promise. Results Are Harder to Fake.

Momentum helped us see beyond the presenting issue and focus on the challenge that truly needed solving. Their strategic guidance strengthened stakeholder alignment, advanced coalition-building efforts, and created momentum where progress had stalled. They were highly responsive, moved at our pace, and remained a trusted partner throughout implementation.

I had the pleasure of working with Samantha on a stakeholder outreach and engagement project, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Samantha was able to quickly understand our needs and connect us with the right stakeholders. Her ability to facilitate communication and build relationships is truly impressive.

Derek Robertson Senior Manager, Government Relations Canada @ Lime
Samantha has a strategic mindset and a sharp eye on her objectives. She has served on committees and boards on both sides of the table and weathered challenging scenarios such as an amalgamation, pandemic restrictions, and important advocacy files with key stakeholders. I can describe her as being not only resilient in the face of change, but courageous, which is a skill often overlooked.
