Federal agencies working on international development, economic development, global health, climate, and public diplomacy share a specific problem. Their evidence is strong and their narrative reach falls short. Third Culture Comms works on exactly that gap.

"I spent nearly two decades inside the institutions that shape global development. I have been in the rooms where those decisions get made," said Yasmine Djellal, Founder and Principal of Third Culture Comms. "This certification gives federal agencies access to a firm that has operated inside these institutions rather than observed them from outside."

Djellal held senior communications roles at the World Bank Group, including the Office of the Senior Vice President and General Counsel, and Director of Communications positions at Nathan Associates and The Cadmus Group. She advises in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish, and every engagement runs through her directly.

The firm delivers four services. Strategic Counsel, embedded advisory support for institutional leadership; Narrative Architecture, foundational story and message frameworks for organizations at a turning point; Principal Voice, speechwriting and thought leadership for individual leaders; and Research & Insights, political economy intelligence, narrative landscape analysis, and policy monitoring that tells institutions who controls the story in their sector before they position within it.

"The organizations losing ground right now aren't losing because of bad work," Djellal added. "They're losing the narrative. Federal agencies face that same pressure, and this certification lets us bring that counsel directly to them."
