I’m Andrea Learned.
I am a globally recognized advisor and podcast host, with an expanding media platform and a mission to identify, develop, and amplify unexpectedly visible leadership that quickly shifts social norms.
I see your influence and know exactly how to better use it.
I’m passionate about using my expertise in branding and marketing to help create a more sustainable future. I believe that everyone has a role to play in addressing climate change and that by working together we can make a real difference.
Award-winning conversations with “unusual suspect” leaders.
See, understand, and grow your own Climate Influence.
Your regular dose of motivating Climate Influence insight, stories, and actions.
I had been reticent to use social media aggressively and through a combination of direct support and coaching I was able to increase my presence in a big way and see results within DAYS.
Catherine Atkin | Director, Carbon Accountable
Andrea’s networks and expertise, and her systems level understanding of how so much ties back to climate action, are remarkable. It wasn’t just that she helped me work through my thoughts–she helped me identify what would make me happy and fulfilled while having maximum impact on the issues that I care about.
Alex Fisch | Former Mayor of Culver City, CA
With infectious energy and a compelling theory of change, she highlights the work of surprising climate leaders.
Theresa Lieb | Senior Analyst of Food Systems, GreenBiz
Andrea knew how to get us into the right digital conversations quickly and productively — especially discrete communities like ‘Climate Twitter.’ Her deep networks of influential corporate, nonprofit and media leaders jump-started our affordable housing/15 minute city initiative in Los Angeles. She was a trusted messenger and authentic, respected ambassador to contacts across the west coast, the country and the globe.
Lindsay Sturman | Co-founder, Livable Communities Initiative
Her 30,000 foot eye and deep understanding of the corporate sustainability space has been gold for us both horizontally and vertically in many more departments than we could have guessed – everywhere from marketing to procurement and operations to communications. Her insight is saving us time and budget, with the bonus that a wide range of our team members are now seeing the value of their own leadership presence for the corporate branding tool it can be.
Karen Guglielmo | Iron Mountain ESG Communications
Any serious change-maker will vastly benefit from Andrea’s work and I cannot recommend her enough.
Lasse Bruun | CEO, 50by40.org
In just a few months time, DI got on the radar of more of our key targeted media and influencers, and saw strong ROI in having worked with her. Andrea is a rare find.
Jen Lamson | Deputy Director, Democracy Initiative
Andrea worked with us to strengthen influencer engagement, helped us launch a curation stream and elevate our experts as thought leaders. In the process, she helped connect our issues to wider circles and broader audiences. And she showed us how to leverage events and ensure our messages rise to the top of relevant conversations.
Emily Cousins | Communications Manager, International Boreal Conservation Campaign
From the first week we worked with Andrea, it was obvious she knew how to identify conversations and influencers that would be important to our impact investing and foundation audiences. She has an uncanny ability to catch onto the flow of a discussion, to see the important events or chats for us to join, and to spy ways we’d otherwise never have noticed to reach an ever broader range of stakeholders.
