Meet Aly & Michelle

Aly Beley

Have you ever struggled to say or write what you mean? You know the problem and how to solve it, but the words won’t form on paper? Meet, Aly Beley, partner and co-founder of Audax Strategies. She is a put-it-on-paper-and-make-it-sound-really-good expert. She can take all those thoughts and ideas swimming around in your head and put them into a concise, effective format to tell your story in your voice. 

With almost two decades of policy and political communications experience, she has spent the last decade working in the US Senate with the primary goal of communicating to Americans what is happening in our nation’s capital. With the power of digital and traditional media, she can help you transform your message into effective advocacy. Some of her expertise includes strong writing skills, extensive contacts in the media, experience navigating crisis communications, and a track record for thinking outside of the box in communicating some of the most complicated issues that face our nation with the limited resources provided by the federal government. She is a creative visionary who has been unleashed and can’t wait to start telling your story. 

When she’s not thinking of the best way to communicate a problem to solve it, you can find her with her kiddo and husband watching KU basketball and the KC Chiefs. Email her at aly_beley@audax-strategies.com so she can help you prepare for the next interview or advise you on how to transform your public profile, push your policy, and brand into a captivating narrative.

From staff assistant to chief of staff, she doesn’t just know–she has worked every point in the process giving her a unique understanding of how Capitol Hill works.
