A little over a year ago, in August, I lost my fantastic job as lead columnist at CoinDesk. Since then, I’ve been taking it easy and planning my next thing. That next thing, I’m finally ready to announce publicly, is Trithemius Strategic Communications, a boutique messaging firm focused on advancing digital privacy and autonomy technologies. http://Trithemius.net After twenty years as a writer and columnist, I’m ready to share my insights about news cycles and messaging with firms, nonprofits, and other organizations that share my desire for a better, freer future. We are named for Johannes Trithemius, the 14th century abbot and author of Steganographia, one of the earliest books on cryptography in the West.

Our primary service is helping executives and leaders turn their core ideas into compelling, convincing, honest messaging – particularly ideas that are complex or outside the mainstream. Over the past year we’ve helped clients craft and place high-profile thought leadership pieces across sectors including cybersecurity, identity, and cryptocurrency. As many of you know, I’m also currently writing a book about Sam Bankman-Fried and techno-authoritarianism, and publish a weekly newsletter, Dark Markets, covering scams and fraud. I’ve managed to balance these projects with growing Trithemius, which would have frankly been impossible if I was still working full-time as a journalist.

Trithemius is not currently open to new full-service clients, but orgs looking for media strategy consultation, advising, or training should reach out. You might notice our website is very bare-bones, and doesn’t have contact information. That’s partly because I wanted to get this out before I head to Devcon next week, but it’s also by design: If you know who I am, you know whether you want to work with us. And like the A-Team, if you can find us, you can hire us.
