Frequently Asked Questions //
-
Coralexi is a brand marketing and communications consultancy that brings consumer-grade storytelling to technically serious work. Founder Theresa Pantazopoulos partners with leadership at technology companies, architecture, engineering, and construction firms, advanced and bio-based materials manufacturers, and regenerative design practices — building or strengthening the strategy and narrative that earn attention, accelerate adoption, and sustain reputations as the work and the world evolve.
-
Most communications partners in technical sectors come from one direction: deep industry knowledge, limited cultural range. Coralexi comes from both. Theresa's background spans Fortune 100 consumer brands — including Procter & Gamble and Unilever, with work recognized by Cannes Lions and Effies — and technically demanding sectors like semiconductors and advanced materials. She brings the instincts of consumer branding to where they're least expected, translating technically complex work into brand and narrative that resonate well beyond the expert audience.
-
Coralexi works with technically serious organizations doing complex, consequential work — technology companies, architecture, engineering, and construction firms, advanced and bio-based materials manufacturers, and regenerative design practices — with particular focus on those reshaping how we build, live, and connect with the natural world. Engagements span the US, UK, and EU.
-
There are two ways to work together. The first is fractional marketing and communications leadership — senior brand and communications direction at a critical moment, like a pivot, launch, or market expansion, without the timeline or overhead of a full-time hire. The second is consulting, focused on brand strategy and positioning or narrative and communications strategy. Both are structured as retainers, reflecting the sustained proximity and senior attention the work requires, and both include access to a trusted creative network when new brand imagery or assets are needed.
-
Engagements are structured as retainers and scoped to the organization's needs and the depth of the work involved. After an initial conversation, Coralexi provides a clear proposal with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.
-
Fractional leadership means bringing in senior brand and communications direction on a part-time, ongoing basis — experienced judgment and close proximity to leadership, without a full-time hire. It tends to be the right fit when an organization is navigating a defining moment and either lacks senior communications leadership in-house or has a capable team that's stretched thin and needs a senior partner to add capacity. Coralexi works both ways: building from the ground up, or stepping in alongside an existing team.
-
A great deal of Coralexi's work is alongside capable in-house teams at moments when they're stretched. Theresa steps in as a senior strategic partner to add capacity and share the thinking, supporting the people who know the organization best.
