ONE TEAM. ALL THE SKILLS.

Lost Lake Communications has been dedicated to solving your most pressing communications challenges since 2016. Henry and Shannon Breimhurst are partners and former reporters who have amassed decades of experience working in agencies, health-care, non-profits and with organizations of all types and sizes.

While both are strong and experienced writers, each also brings a unique skillset and range of industry expertise. Henry is a generalist who speaks the language of developers, user experience planners, designers, clients and managers. He can sketch a site map, whiteboard a strategy, sell an idea, write the copy, and mediate the transition from 'creative idea' to 'technically possible. Shannon is a marketing/communications expert who can consult with you to understand your business and its needs, build an integrated, strategic communications plan to advance them, and do the work to see it through.  

We are both high level thinkers and pragmatists. We can help you think around corners and develop strategic plans, and we are also happy to get into the weeds, taking on tactical writing and management tasks if that is the best way to help move your work forward.

Let us know how we can help you.
