My name is Lesley Lopez.
I’m the founder of Monarch Media Strategies, a full service communications agency that combines tried-and-true methods with emerging technologies.
I’m currently available for consulting engagements.
After 20 years as a broadcast journalist and in house communications strategist, I help clients connect with their targeted audiences- wherever they’re at.
Working independently or leading a team of creatives, here’s a few of my specialties:
Executive Media Training and Thought Leadership
To date, I’ve done paid communications work for 27 federally elected officials, many Fortune 500 executive teams, and even 50 nationally recognized Girl Scouts, to help them deliver their message in the most effective ways possible.
Writing, Editing, and Coaching
I’ve spent nearly a decade leading trainings and teaching the fundamental skills of writing and editing. As an adjunct professor in the George Washington University’s Strategic Public Relations Program, I know how to bring out the best in team members at every level.
Branding
I led all communications, marketing and branding as Chief Communications and Marketing Officer for the political startup Run for Something, as one of the original employees. I've learned how to use strategic campaigns to move the ball forward and make complex ideas universal and actionable.
Social Media Management
Whether it’s paid, earned, or owned, I can help create and manage winning content for all your social media platforms.
Who do I help? Mostly nonprofits, labor, mission-driven start ups, social enterprises, political candidates and electeds, and authors.
