Scout Think Strategies is the consulting practice of Hunter Wilson — a marketing and communications leader with deep experience across higher education, retail, and digital strategy. By day, I lead marketing and communications for a college. On the side, I take on a small, deliberate roster of clients who need senior-level thinking without agency overhead.
The work spans brand voice, digital content, web and CMS, campaign planning, and the kind of operational marketing systems that let small teams punch well above their weight. I bring AI-augmented workflows where they save real time, and I leave them out where they don't.
The work is varied. The standards aren't.
A focused set of things, done unusually well.
Brand Voice & Messaging
Develop the language your brand actually sounds like — voice guides, tone standards, and messaging frameworks that scale across every touchpoint.
Content & Social
Editorial calendars, social media, email campaigns, and short-form copy built to move with workflows designed to reduce approval cycles, not multiply them.
Web & CMS
Front-end work, landing pages, content architecture, and CMS cleanup. Practical fixes and full builds, with an eye for what the analytics will say six months in.
Campaign Planning
Launch plans, comms strategies, and event marketing playbooks for the moments that matter built around real timelines, real teams, and real budgets.
Higher Ed Consulting
Specialized support for institutions and higher ed consultancies: enrollment communications, brand initiatives, leadership presentations, and cross-functional rollouts.
AI-Augmented Workflows
Smart use of AI tools to compress production timelines without compromising voice or quality. Built and documented so your team can run them.
Senior-level work, small-shop responsiveness.
-
01
Listen first
Every engagement starts with understanding the business, the audience, and the constraints — not pitching a template.
-
02
Define the scope
Clear deliverables, clear timelines, clear price. No surprise scope creep, no padded retainers.
-
03
Do the work
Hands-on execution, not handed off to a junior. You work with me directly from kickoff to delivery.
-
04
Build for handoff
Where it makes sense, the work comes with documentation, templates, and workflows your team can run without me.
