Shaping stories towards justice
The Wakeman Agency helps mission-driven causes and socially responsible companies leverage the power of strategic communications in pursuit of systemic change.
Our Mission
Since its inception in 2003, The Wakeman Agency’s focus has been centered on purpose-driven engagements that give voice to the needs and experiences of historically excluded groups. Our mission has always been rooted in dismantling systemic oppression.
We are proponents of Narrative Justice, shaping stories side by side with their protagonists, centering their perspectives and experiences as catalysts for the transformation of systems.
We are committed to leveraging the power of strategic communications to bring forth stories that reflect the dignity, strengths and histories of the people and communities that we serve, by reflecting the humanity of those we are representing.
Our Expertise
Weaving tried and trusted technical mastery with the experiences of those who are transforming systems, our expertise amplifies impact that results in meaningful change defined principally by those impacted by that change.
