Storyteller. Strategist.

Disruptor

Leeah Marie derenoncourt

In a Nutshell

Ambitious and electric, I harnesses strategic communications to make movements and brands not only great but known. Leveraging my diversity of experience, I use communications as a tool for impact. Where I can make a difference, I will. I marry the best of media relations, digital communications, strategy development, and copywriting to lead brands to disrupt and elevate their industries while upholding and honoring their authentic narratives.

I marry my skills ​across strategic ​communications...

Black Left Arrow

Messaging

Media Relations

with my passion for impact...

I created monthly content calendars for an education consultancy catered to a hyper-local audience and created and disseminated a monthly newsletter to get Newark parents the info they need.

Roots and Bridges

I saw that non-profits and social impact groups had big problems with their comms, but not the resources to solve them. My solution? Pro-bono comms coaching.

Agitate

Faced with 55+ chapters, 5,000 + members, & a 100 year old movement that needed a face lift, I put together messaging and voice guides, reframing the fight for the ERA as an intersectional movement.

Generation Rafity

and I take things global!

Fueled by global perspectives

I'm a travel enthusiast fueled by the richness of diverse cultures and experiences. With a passport full of stamps and a mind full of ideas, I embrace global viewpoints to spark creativity that knows no borders.

Future Nobel Laureate Scholar

In 2022, I developed projects for social change with scholars from around the world during the 2022 Nobel Week Dialogue in Sweden.

Frederick Douglass Global Fellow

In 4 weeks across Ireland following in the footsteps of Fredrick Douglass, exploring transnational leadership, I came away with a new love for the color green AND, more importantly, the inspiration for Agitate, mentioned above.
