We’re not here to decorate your message. We build the foundation for how your company communicates—when clarity matters most. We work with B2B brands, government contractors, and vision-led founders who need more than content. They need an architecture that aligns teams and strategic storytelling that can scale.
We help brands say what they mean—on paper, in pitch, and across platforms. Our clients include federal contractors, B2B firms, and founders who need to get it right the first time.

You’ll always know where things stand—without getting stuck in the weeds.
Internal teams, agency partners, freelancers—we plug in fast and work at a higher standard.

“A sharp message solves more problems than a bloated strategy ever will.” -Mary
Mainstay started as a promise: to be the most dependable partner in your corner. The one who helps you stay upright when things shift.
But there’s more to it than that.
In sailing, the mainstay is the line that holds the mast in place. It keeps the structure balanced. Without it, the entire system fails. That’s how we think about messaging. Not as decoration, but as a support line that holds strategy, operations, and communication together.
We don’t just write. We build the message that everything else relies on.
