My name is Akeena Legall.
I am a writer, brand strategist & publicist.

Congratulations: if you’re here, it means you’ve done something remarkable.

You slayed last quarter, you brought an amazing new product to market, you’ve pioneered a solution to an issue no one thought could be solved. Now you need a visionary, eloquent and strategic communicator to translate your accomplishments into actionable content: from digital strategy, press opportunities and blog articles, all the way through to social media content and marketing. Look no further: I’m the silver tongued content producer ready to make good on your bragging rights.

Need to grow your online audience? Up your engagement? Get the folks that matter talking about your product? Convert your followers into loyal, paying customers? I’ve done it before, and for you, I’ll do it again.

I have seven years’ experience exciting audiences in digital and offline communities through content development and marketing. Underscoring my skills in social media content marketing, research and media relations is a relentless dedication to the craftsmanship of writing: I am a prolific, scrupulous and imaginative writer. I can develop pressers and web copy on tight deadlines over a range of topics. I know what it takes to get you the kind of publicity that makes a difference to your bottom line: work I’ve covered and pitched has been featured on a number of national North American publishers.

My clients have been covered in

Logos: abc, Buzzfeed, CBC, CTV, The Globe & Mail, Netflix, The New York Times, PBS, The Walrus, Wired
