Whitney ​Alexander

I’m an award-winning strategist, ​a creative brand-builder, and a ​social media expert.


I find creative ways to harness ​culture to power brands and ​businesses for tomorrow.

Strategic-thinking meets ​creative-visioneering

I have an outsized curiosity about people and culture that ​has given me an array of tools and perspectives to draw ​from when solving brand and business problems.

I hunt for the edges and the interesting, the tensions and ​the surprises, the truths and the shifts. And I turn these ​insights into creative opportunities that help brands land in ​culture, bring them closer to their audience, and ​supercharge their growth.


Clients and partners have called it “whitney magic” by my ​ability to make ideas and insights seem to levitate. No ​strings involved, just ideas infused with energy. 🪄
