Sean Garrett's Linkedin Analytics

I've been consistently reimagining comms my entire career. I created Mixing Board in 2020 — now a community of 500+ comms and brand marketing leaders who share knowledge with each other and organizations looking to gain expert perspectives. Mixing Board is the third new-model organization that I've conceived and helped create. It's an evolution of his eight years of experience as co-founder of Pramana Collective — the cutting edge consultancy of top former heads of communications — that helped organizations get better aligned and navigate big inflection points. Clients included Airbnb, Comcast, Conde Nast, Dreamworks, Dropbox, Greylock Partners, Grammarly, Nickelodeon, Pandora, and Slack. In 2003, I co-founded 463 Communications, the industry's first tech policy communications firm that bridged the gap between Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C. I've also consistently been at the edge of technology industry trends. I helped found the first CEO tech industry policy organization; was an early employee and head of comms at the seminal online music start-up Listen.com; and, as VP of comms and public affairs, was Twitter's first comms and marketing hire. In 2011, TechCrunch accurately called my team "the best in-house tech PR team in the business". I've also managed big teams at top tech comms agencies, helped lead two 'sprint' teams advising the Obama White House, ran statewide California political campaigns, consulted a Lithuanian political party for their campaign during the first free Parliamentary election since WWII; and, worked in the California governor's office as a kid right out of school. I was named by the Holmes Report as one of the top 25 innovators in communications in 2019.
