We write, we pitch, we position.

Compelling stories dwell within every organization.

Plotlines brings these stories to life to achieve strategic marketing, business development and operational goals. We are a communications consultancy that specializes in writing and editing, public relations and content marketing—from publicity and thought leadership programs to the development of engaging narratives for websites, proposals, awards and presentations. 

Led by AEC industry veteran Mike Plotnick, Plotlines operates as a flexible network of skilled communicators who come together to serve each client's distinct needs. This approach combines the expertise of a senior consultant with the depth of a full-service marketing agency.

Hands-on, start to finish.
Every engagement is led by a senior-level principal. The person you hire is the person who does the work — no account layers, no handoffs to junior staff and no training new team members on your budget.

Built for the long haul.
Most of our client relationships span years, not projects. We serve as the trusted writing and media relations resource for AEC firms of all sizes. Knowing their business is our business.

Scaled to succeed.
Plotlines is lean by design. When a project calls for more hands, we enlist our virtual collaborators to round out the team. Clients get agency depth without agency overhead.
