Celeste Wilson

After working on campaigns for years, I saw firsthand how too many consultants prioritize their own paychecks over real outcomes. I watched firms overcharge for services, hide markups in contracts, and leave passionate candidates and organizations unsure where their money was going — or whether it was making a difference.

I started this firm because I knew there had to be a better way.

At CR Strategies, I offer strategic support that’s transparent, affordable, and driven by purpose. I don’t add markups to third-party services. I don’t bury fees in fine print. Instead, I use a flat-fee model that makes it clear exactly what you’re paying for — so that every dollar you raise goes directly toward your campaign, your cause, your community.

Because running for office or leading change shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy. Because small-dollar donations should matter. Because democracy should be accessible — not hidden behind bloated invoices or gatekept by insider consultants.

I support candidates, nonprofits, and values-based organizations through campaign strategy, advocacy consulting, coalition building, and policy development. Whether you’re running for office or pushing for policy change, I’m here to help you move your mission forward — without draining your resources or compromising your values.

I don’t believe in gatekeeping democracy.

I believe in Truth. Access. Change.

What's With The Ears?
The “R” in CR Strategies stands for Roland — my rescue dog and the inspiration behind our logo. His ears are a daily reminder to listen closely, stay loyal to the mission, and lead with heart.

Celeste helped my campaign tremendously. Her approach was transparent, effective, and dedicated. I wouldn't have won without her!

Three people are sitting around a conference table in a modern office. One person is wearing a red blazer and is speaking, while the other two listen and have open laptops in front of them. Papers with charts and graphs are scattered on the table. In the background, there are gray acoustic panels on the wall and a flip chart with colorful notes.
