Principal

David Coburn

David Coburn is a strategic thinker, writer, media relations expert and communications consultant leveraging 30-plus years of print journalism and agency public relations experience. He takes a consultative approach to help clients tell stories that elevate their brand by crafting results-oriented communications strategies. He also offers clients a wealth of expertise in reputation management, including deep experience in crisis communications and issues management. Over the years he has been fortunate to serve a roster of world-class brands in categories ranging from consumer goods and financial services to healthcare, supply chain, building products and regulated utilities. 

When he’s not helping clients achieve their business goals, David enjoys tending to his pepper plants, cooking, reading and tooling around the local ice rink at his weekly rec-league hockey game. He and his wife Carol have two adult daughters and live in Charlotte with a lovable 100-pound black Lab named Luke.

What We Do

At Coburn Communications, we start by understanding your organization’s goals and then develop a content-driven communications strategy designed to help you achieve them.

We do this by creating and delivering content that engages your target audiences, whether they are customers and prospective customers, employees or future recruits, potential investors, donors or the communities where you live and work. Content that educates and informs before it sells, shows rather than tells, and creates a deep connection to your brand that fosters trust, respect and long-term loyalty.

Content that – regardless of the message delivery platform or tactic, whether it’s social media, a news release, article, video, website, blog or a podcast – showcases your brand in a way that makes your story their story.
