Andrea Sok
I believe in the power of storytelling. I am driven by a passion for uncovering stories and finding the voices and vehicles to deliver them authentically.
I began my career in journalism- storytelling across print and broadcast media before eventually transitioning to the nonprofit sector. I have been fortunate to travel the world seeking great stories and sharing them in new and different ways through local and global campaigns.
While at the United Nations Foundation, I combined traditional earned media with digital communications to raise awareness and funding for global issues. I then carried this to the world’s largest nonprofit, United Way Worldwide, where I launched the organization’s first global brand ambassador program and influencer marketing efforts. I now work across sectors securing media placements, reaching untapped audiences, and embracing new mediums. I am an active member of the Public Relations Society of America
