Background

About Evan White

For the past 15+ years, as a Senior Public Relations and Communications Leader, I have gained invaluable experience in strategic communication, digital media, brand positioning, and business development in both startup and corporate environments. This expertise has allowed me to be knowledgeable in leveraging exceptional communication and leadership skills to plan and drive digital transformation projects from inception to launch while cultivating strong client relationships and sharing client stories with large audiences across major media outlets. A few of the achievements I have accomplished include: Founded and grew a successful marketing and public relations firm, creating media across all markets that reached 100M+ impressions. Realized 10M+ impressions on out-of-home advertising campaigns and 100K social media engagements for the local commerce app, Boardwalk, while growing its active monthly user base to 9K users. Chosen from over 7K applicants to participate in the 2018 and 2019 South by Southwest (SXSW) panel program series for three separate discussions on the subjects of Loneliness, Happiness, and Tech. Expanded the Viddy app's user base from 50K to 50M while achieving 1M Android app downloads in the first month and positioning the iOS app as #1 in 49 countries (leading to it being named the iTunes App of the Week in May 2011). Secured $36M in funding for Viddy and grew the team ten-fold in just 18 months while onboarding highly visible celebrities and brands such as Rihanna, Apolo Ohno, Michael Strahan, MTV, Gucci, and Time Magazine. Won awards such as Startup of the Year (iMedia Las Vegas Breakthrough Summit 2011), Winner – Video Category (Online Publishers' Association's NYC Startup Event 2012), and Best Business App (Silicon Beach App Awards 2015.) Developed an online course - theREACHcourse.com - to assist Neighborhood Councils and Chamber of Commerce organizations in carrying out better outreach and communications strategies to their target communities. At this present time, I'm excited to connect with like-minded professionals and share my expertise in strategic communication, digital media, brand positioning, and business development in both startup and corporate environments.
