About Stacey McLeod
Writer, Strategist and Futures Designer
Background
I'm a writer and futurist at heart. I started my career in newsrooms, earned a master's degree in creative nonfiction, and have spent more than 20 years shaping storytelling for new technologies. I help people communicate clearly as audiences, technology and search keep evolving. I'm most curious about what comes next and how it affects people, and how content design, privacy and ethics can help shape our collective futures in positive and more inclusive ways.
For more than 20 years, I've led content strategy and production at enterprise brands, in newsrooms and inside product and marketing teams. My clients have included global technology companies, luxury travel brands, fintech startups, financial institutions and consumer brands.
I'm open to fractional, consulting and contract engagements, and to a full-time role when it's the right fit.
Much of my client work is confidential and covered by NDA. References and additional examples of my work are available by request.
