What a fractional public affairs consultant owns

A fractional public affairs consultant is brought in for judgement on a specific question — an audit, a diagnosis, a recommendation, or a plan your team then executes. The deliverable is usually a written argument plus the sequence to act on it.

Consultant versus the roles either side of it
