Meet Paige mcelwrath

Hello there — I’m Paige, a public relations and crisis strategy professional dedicated to helping people and organizations communicate with clarity and confidence. I founded The Monarch Strategy Group on one simple principle: when the pressure is high, strategy and composure make all the difference.

My Background

I’m a graduate of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, where I studied Mass Communication and Media Studies with a focus in Public Relations. My time there sharpened my skills in storytelling, message development, and strategic communication — all while I gained hands-on experience working my way through school.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients across the political, nonprofit, and corporate worlds. Whether guiding an advocacy organization through a communications crisis or helping a business clarify its brand narrative, my goal is the same: to bring calm, direction, and credibility to every situation.

My Approach

Details are important, but perspective is essential. I specialize in zooming out — cutting through the noise, identifying what truly matters, and guiding clients toward meaningful results.

I believe effective public relations isn’t about hype or manipulation; it’s about building trust, demonstrating integrity, and creating authentic connections with your audience. Whether you’re preparing for growth, navigating a challenge, or managing a crisis, I help you move from reaction to strategy — with confidence and clarity every step of the way.
