Kevin Leu
Writer and Consultant in San Francisco, California
I have an eclectic background in technology ranging from founding a tech startup to leading Marketing and Product teams for high-growth startups. In PR, I have never failed at getting a client new press attention. Here's why.
As a former TV reporter, it was my daily job to 1) become an expert on a story 2) analyze how it's important to everyone 3) highlight people that effectively convey the story, and 4) relate to different types of people.
I have since gone on to use these skills to my advantage in PR, Marketing, and Advertising. Empathy is what makes me good at my job. I laugh, I cry, I get angry, I get sad, because, in order to tell a good story, I need to feel it.
In PR, I have attained client mentions in over 300 different news organizations. Collectively, the companies I've worked for have raised over $321 million in venture capital.
I've traveled to over 80 countries, extensively interacting with locals so I can understand what matters to people from all walks of life.
I have secured mentions in top-tier media outlets, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Entrepreneur, Fortune, Playboy, USA Today, Buzzfeed, Elite Daily, CNET, The Hollywood Reporter, and many others.
