Communication advisory

People follow, buy from, and champion the organisations they trust.

I help ambitious organisations build that trust through communication that is clear, consistent, and impossible to ignore.

"A solid communications anchor for sparring and driving key agendas internally or externally."

"Helicopter perspective that lets her cut straight to the essence and the communication needs."

I work with management teams in mid-size B2B organisations and tourism destinations who have real ambitions and a point of view — but whose communication is not yet building the position they deserve. You know what you want to stand for. I help you get there and make sure the world knows it.

Klara Halkjaer

For nearly 20 years, I have helped organisations build communication that actually works, from the strategy and the narrative down to the content that brings it to life.

My background spans corporate communication, change communication, internal communication, and content strategy. I have led communication functions at Maersk Tankers and Chr. Hansen, worked on global product launches at Novo Nordisk, and since 2021 have run my own consultancy working with B2B companies, life sciences organisations, and tourism destinations across Europe.

I work at the strategic end, connecting business strategy to communication strategy, building narratives that hold up, and keeping stakeholders aligned and projects on track. But I also produce and execute, because strategy without delivery is just a document. I do the whole loop.

I will die on the hill where we simplify things, and I will absolutely tell you when something is not working. If you love 80-slide decks full of corporate jargon, I am not your person. If you want clarity, honesty, and communication that does the job, let's talk.

Services

01

Communication strategy

You have a business strategy. But if your communication is not working with it, you are leaving position on the table. I make sure the two are connected, so what you do, what you say, and how you say it are all pulling in the same direction.

02

Narrative & messaging

You know your business better than anyone. But can you explain it clearly, consistently, and in a way that makes people want to engage? I help you find your core story, define your positioning, and build a messaging platform that everyone in your organisation can stand on.

03

Leadership & internal communication

How your leaders communicate shapes how your organisation is perceived, inside and out. I help your executives find their voice, build their positioning, and show up consistently, including on LinkedIn. And I make sure your people are as informed and engaged as your customers.

04

Change communication

Change creates noise. Mergers, restructurings, rebrands, and leadership transitions — if you do not control the narrative, someone else will do it for you. I help you cut through it with communication that keeps all stakeholders informed, aligned, and moving in the same direction.

05

Content strategy & production

You could probably be saying so much more than you are. I develop content strategies built around your positioning, and produce the content that brings them to life, from articles and scripts to campaigns and presentations.

Ways to work together

Fractional communication lead

You need senior communication expertise, but probably not a full-time hire. As a fractional communication lead I become part of your team, embedded in your business, working a set number of days per week or month, and giving you the strategic ownership and continuity that a junior or part-time hire simply cannot.

It is how you as a mid-size company get access to the kind of expertise that usually only larger organisations can afford.

Project based

A defined challenge with a beginning and an end. I own the communication part of your project, strategically and often in production too, from a product launch to a restructuring to a new market entry. Timelines vary from a few weeks to several months.

I do not do quick ins and outs. But if you want someone who is genuinely invested in getting it right, let's talk.

Pricing

What it costs

My hourly rate is DKK 1,300. For project-based work and fractional engagements, we agree on a fixed monthly or project fee depending on scope and involvement.

Languages

Languages & location

I work in English and Swedish. I live in Copenhagen and speak fluent Danish, which means I can absolutely be in the room, follow the nuance, and contribute. But if you need someone to write your annual report in Danish, I am not your person. I leave official Danish copywriting to the natives.

Swedish by origin, raised partly in Nicaragua, lived in nine countries, and worked mostly in English throughout. It probably explains why I am good at finding the story that travels across borders and audiences.

What clients say

Role: Fractional communication lead

"Klara is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is responsive, understands things quickly, and has a helicopter perspective that lets her cut straight to the essence and the communication needs. And she has great personal values."

Trine Ahlgren

CMO, Micreos

Role: Fractional communication lead

"Klara's advice is to the point, hands-on, and pragmatic — and she delivers. Her patience and stakeholder management instincts came in very handy. What surprised me was how our collaboration grew over the years and went in so many directions. Her curiosity and flexibility turned several add-on opportunities into action. If you are looking for a solid communications anchor for sparring and driving key agendas internally or externally, it is certainly worth reaching out to Klara."

Christoffer Jensen

Chief Medical Officer, Jazz Pharmaceuticals

Role: Communication platform & guidelines

"I reached out to Klara when I needed an experienced and flexible consultant to support our newly started group. Our ambition was to set the communication bar high from the very beginning — both externally and internally. It was important that everything was stringent, planned, and in line with our brand promise, even through constant change, and Klara was a great guide. She helped us with an overall communication framework as well as communication guidelines for acquisitions. With her experience she is able to pick up what is most important, leave out the noise, and improve your own work."

CEO, Network of Design
