MARKETING &
COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT
We are living in a communications environment unlike anything before: fractured, fast-moving, emotionally charged, and deeply fragmented across platforms, communities, and information ecosystems.
In this landscape: Truth travels slower than outrage, context gets lost, messages get distorted, organizations fall out of alignment internally and externally, communities fill in the blanks when institutions don’t communicate clearly, small missteps become major narrative crises, and misinformation spreads faster than clarity. Most organizations - especially mission-driven ones - are simply not resourced to navigate this complexity alone.
WHAT IS DUNN GOOD?
Dunn Good Works LLC is the consulting studio of Ryan Dunn, MBA. It exists to provide fractional marketing and communications leadership for mission-driven organizations navigating complex narrative environments.
Dunn Good’s mission is simple: to do good work. I want to end each day knowing that my efforts have contributed to something constructive, ethical, and meaningful - knowing I Dunn Good.
Dunn Good exists to provide marketing and communications leadership to organizations who care about the well-being of their consumers and strive to make a positive impact for the greater good of humanity.
Communication isn’t just messaging. It’s trust. It’s safety. It’s alignment. It’s culture. It’s impact. It’s leadership.
In a fractured environment, organizations don’t just need marketing. They need a narrative steward, a strategic translator, and a communications partner who can operate across teams, across channels, and across moments of uncertainty.
That’s Dunn Good. Closing the gaps. Guiding the narrative. Helping good organizations communicate even better - with clarity, integrity, and care.
ABOUT ME
My name is Ryan Dunn and my work spans narrative strategy, executive messaging, social and digital communications, crisis and rapid-response management, and community-centered storytelling. My approach is culturally informed, trauma-aware, and grounded in helping organizations communicate with steadiness, intention, and trust.
I brings over a decade of experience in integrated marketing and communications across entertainment, media, and technology. His background includes roles at Broadway Across America / The John Gore Organization (Type A Marketing), Paramount / Viacom (MTV and VH1), and Motional (Hyundai Motor Group), where my work intersected with government relations, public policy, and emerging technology.
Prior to launching Dunn Good Works, I completed my MBA with concentrations in Marketing and Management, where my academic focus centered on cultural intelligence (CQ), emotional intelligence (EQ), and human-centered leadership. I set out to explore a foundational question: How can organizations perform truly impactful work without undermining the dignity, safety, or wellbeing of any individual or community in the process?
My graduate research examined how organizations that operate with genuine care for people and communities - not as a brand posture, but as a business discipline - consistently outperform over the long term. This includes stronger brand trust, more resilient reputations, healthier stakeholder relationships, and sustained revenue growth. Through case studies, applied strategy, and real-world analysis, I studied how values-aligned leadership, inclusive decision-making, and ethical communications are not only morally sound, but strategically effective - particularly in complex, highly visible, or mission-driven sectors.
In parallel with my MBA studies, I deepened my work across public health, research, and community advocacy through roles with The Fenway Institute and Boston’s HIV Research Community Action Board, engaging directly with stakeholders navigating complex policy, identity, and trust dynamics. These experiences reinforced my belief that communications sit at the center of how institutions earn credibility and sustain impact.
That foundation continues to inform how I approach every engagement: with rigor, empathy, and a clear understanding that how an organization communicates directly shapes its long-term viability.
Dunn Good Works currently provides senior-level marketing and communications support for Fenway Health and Emerge Collaborations. I selectively partner with organizations whose missions are rooted in equity, inclusion, and public trust, and am open to conversations about meaningful collaboration.
PRICING PHILOSOPHY
My work is built on integrity, care, and alignment. That includes how I price. I collaborate with organizations across different stages of growth, and I recognize that needs and capacities shift over time. Rather than offering rigid tiers, I develop custom scopes rooted in what will create the most impact. Every engagement is designed to be respectful of your budget while honoring the value of the work.
Following a discovery call, I’ll propose a scope and pricing structure that reflects the level of strategy, production, and ongoing support required.
I offer project-based work, short-term partnerships, and longer-term retainers depending on what will serve you best.
