RACHAEL LEWIS-KRISKY
Marketing & Animation
With over a decade of experience in audio and video storytelling, I've developed a diverse skill set that encompasses creative storytelling and production across marketing and journalism. While these fields may seem distinct, my background in both has allowed me to cultivate a unique approach to strategic communication. Marketers and journalists alike must embrace elements of both disciplines in order to thrive. For instance, marketing tools such as audience engagement, data analytics, and spending strategy can enhance a journalist's ability to connect with their audience. Similarly, journalism's emphasis on authentic storytelling can empower marketers to focus on the real-world impact of their products and businesses. By merging these approaches, I strive to create more compelling and successful marketing stories.

Branded podcasts are a powerful way for a company or organization to connect with their customers, beyond bottom-line focused sales campaigns.
