Abigail E. Disney is one of America’s most recognized activist voices — a filmmaker, philanthropist, and outspoken critic of corporate greed, inequality, and the exploitation of workers. Through her podcast All Ears with Abigail Disney and her acclaimed documentary, The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales, she has built a platform that is equal parts provocative and principled. That platform demands communications leadership that matches her ambition and protects her integrity.
Executive & Principal Counsel As Ms. Disney’s trusted communications partner, I served as the primary strategic filter for every inbound opportunity — from media requests and keynote invitations to op-ed pitches and special project inquiries. With demand far exceeding capacity, rigorous vetting was essential. Every opportunity was evaluated against her core messages, values, and long-term brand positioning to ensure each engagement advanced her mission rather than diluted it. The result: a body of public-facing work that is cohesive, credible, and consistently on-brand. This counsel extended to her website as well, where I served as a close advisor to ensure her digital presence accurately reflected the full scope and integrity of her work.
Thought Leadership & Earned Media Strategic positioning was never reactive — it was architected. Working closely with Ms. Disney and her team, I identified and developed proactive opportunities that brought her values to life in the public square: from high-profile speaking engagements and keynote addresses to nationally visible op-eds and media appearances. Each placement was chosen not for reach alone, but for resonance and relevance. View the full press page.
Crisis Navigation & Reputation Management High-profile advocacy work is rarely without turbulence. Over the course of our engagement, a series of complex challenges and reputational pressures arose — each requiring calm, decisive, and coordinated action. In every instance, a measured and strategic approach allowed us to mitigate harm, protect Ms. Disney’s credibility, and find a constructive path forward.
Testimonial from Abigail E. Disney:
“Working with Jacqueline has been a pleasure and more. During a series of very demanding pr challenges Jacqueline has been reliably unflappable, strategic, and opportunistic. All along the way Jacqueline has displayed an understanding of and sensitivity to the values of everything I do, which is frankly rare in much of the pr world, and as a result I feel incredibly grateful for all the impact we have been able to make over these last few years.” ~ filmmaker, activist and philanthropist, Abigail E.
