From the newsroom to the boardroom, I help people communicate with confidence, clarity and credibility.
Meet Lynda
Lynda Halligan has spent more than 30 years working both in front of and behind the camera in broadcasting, entertainment and communications. As a television journalist, host, spokesperson and Chief Communications Officer (CCO), she has helped organizations, brands and associations shape their message, strengthen their reputation and connect with audiences.
Lynda’s career as a news anchor and host has taken her to 49 states, fueling a lifelong curiosity about people, places and the stories that connect them. Along the way, she has interviewed everyone - from veterans and veterinarians to politicians and pediatricians to actors and activists.
She is equally experienced in sponsored content and brand storytelling. As a host and producer for QVC, writer/host/producer of Hollywood’s Top Ten on Reelz, consumer reporter on Best Deals and spokesperson for global brands, including Disney, Melaleuca and Articulate, Lynda knows how to inform, engage and inspire action. One of her favorite projects was serving as co-host and writer for the lifestyle show, The Morning Blend, on FOX.
As CCO for the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs, Lynda managed crisis communications, media relations, community outreach, digital platforms, fundraising, publishing and production - running a one-woman communications operation while building trusted relationships and high-value partnerships.
A Los Angeles native now based in Newport Beach, Lynda works with clients nationwide to clarify their message, amplify their voice and create lasting impact.
