There's a bit of a disconnect between the way comms people are trained and what founders should expect. Comms people brought up in an era where media relations was the main skill are taught to keep expectations low because so much is hard to control, so set the bar low so that it's easier to clear. But now comms is a whole new ballgame that should include media relations but also content/social, events, etc. You should want comms people who paint an audacious vision for the brand. Who can confidently diagnose where things are today and get everyone excited about where it could and should be tomorrow. If your comms team isn't shooting for the stars, who will? Like other functions, you should support audacious, almost impossible goals.
