ABOUT
About Common & Meaghan Garick,
Principal and Founder
Hi, I’m Meaghan.
I started Common to offer the kind of communications partnership I wish more teams, and more leaders, had: transparent, grounded, and human.
After more than 20 years in corporate communications, I’ve seen what happens when clarity, trust, and authenticity are prioritized—and what happens when they’re not. I created Common as a way to bring those values to the center of the work.
At its core, Common is just me: a hands-on partner with a heart for storytelling, a head for strategy, and a deep respect for the people behind the message. I’ve led internal and executive communications, managed high-pressure crisis response, shaped brands from the ground up, and helped individuals and organizations alike speak in a voice that’s true to who they are.
Together, we’ll tackle the tough stuff. We won’t gloss over what’s hard or reach for jargon when plain language will do. We’ll make communications work better—for the people who send them and the people who receive them.
If you’re looking for a flexible partner who can help lead tough conversations, strengthen your internal voice, or bring more alignment to your brand, whether it’s personal or organizational—I’d love to talk.

Although our lines of work didn't cross much, the chances I had to work with her were fantastic. I sought her out and valued her opinion on issues outside the realm of her expertise because I trusted her.
