I started 2024 with big goals and clear intentions for how Leverette Weekes would do business. The results have been more than I could have imagined. This year has led to several wins for us internally and our clients, too:

As I close out 2024, I am grateful for the team and partners of Leverette Weekes who help us achieve excellence. I’m equally grateful for our clients who’ve trusted us with their communications and media needs throughout the year.

Our team will be taking a well-deserved break until January 6th. During this time, we’ll also be defining what success looks—both for our organization and the clients we serve.
