Pollinator Communications helps you craft and tell your story so it resonates and inspires, driving long-term business growth. Businesses on a mission are often moving so fast they don’t slow down to strategically articulate their stories and messages. This creates confusion and missed opportunities to connect with audiences that matter most. I solve this by digging into your essence. I ask you and your key stakeholders deep, thoughtful questions — listening more than talking. Next, I distill who you are and what you do into concise messages aligned with you and your brand. Then I create smart and tangible strategic communication plans to maximize your positive connection and impact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1601340273955-Y98SE4PPHM5HQC88HTJ0/IMG_2733.jpeg Home I’m Molly Gaines, owner of Pollinator Communications. I live in Denver, Colorado. I work with purpose-driven businesses to make our world better for everyone. For 20 years, I’ve been helping individuals and businesses communicate their stories in genuine ways that connect to hearts and minds — inspiring action.

I’m wildly passionate about helping things flourish and grow: flowers, veggies, pollinators and mission-based businesses. My vision is to help businesses with purpose look harder at their stories and tell them in more compelling ways that inspire positive action. My mission: relentlessly advocate for brands making our food, climate, citizens and world better. I’ve worked in PR for 25 years on behalf of businesses ranging from Fortune 500 and startup tech companies to organic and natural food businesses. I spent 10 years at Haberman, a full-service marketing agency in Minneapolis before founding The Urban Farmhands, a backyard farming business. Today, in addition to Pollinator Communications, I’m the director of strategic communications and engagement for Kindship Group, www.kindshipgroup.com. I have a BA in journalism from the University of Iowa and a master’s in communications from the University of Northern Iowa. I’m also certified in digital marketing through Columbia University and Emeritus. I live in the Highlands neighborhood of Denver with my husband, Jason, and our kids, Ryder and Lola. As a Colorado Master Gardener, I work with non profits around Denver, helping people garden and grow food. Below are images from my garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1602177220446-TI7JL3SU8Z3WWJ3DTY87/IMG_2894.jpg Me Big-eyed honey bee on my zinnia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1605646560843-VML77SAB6AX21MS0YK75/IMG_1240.jpg Me My 2020 pet garden project: luffa sponge! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1603916182777-4RFG9QFISXPASB3CCIKV/IMG_6974.jpg Me Echinacea, or Cone Flower, from our backyard in Minneapolis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1603916140414-67KKEDL1X0MEV7TKM68S/IMG_2317.jpg Me Spring radishes from my veggie garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1603916159300-S7M5UTRM4YX0MKA3EKT5/IMG_3918.jpg Me Painted lady on my all-time favorite flower: a zinnia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1603916324647-HPS4J627ZOY3WK78TJU6/IMG_7995.jpg Me The Principle of Parsimony at work with this perfect spiral cucumber tendril. https://pollinatorcommunications.com/you daily 0.75 2021-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1609263609603-P6ZWWB5NLHY6V073B90V/IMG_2174.jpg You - Let’s start with your story — and a whole lot of questions. We’ll begin with a deep-dive into the head, heart and soul of your business. The more I get to know you and your business, the better I can craft messaging and a strategic communications plan to maximize awareness, engagement, inspiration and action. We’ll articulate the ins and outs of the truest you: your story, where you stand, and how and why you do what you do. Let’s first talk about you — and what aligning with you says about them. https://pollinatorcommunications.com/new-page daily 0.75 2021-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f481289179c772dc2e536cc/1610479464550-JSBP06TFTSLIKZATXR5S/image-asset.jpeg New Page https://pollinatorcommunications.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://pollinatorcommunications.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-gl9e8 monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://pollinatorcommunications.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-rcj7a monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://pollinatorcommunications.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-n7c62 monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
