Angela Lewis is the founder of ALA Public Relations, a boutique

firm focused on amplifying the voices of serviced based leaders

who want to share their expertise and transform the lives of

others.

struggled to find the time to share their message. As a result, many

people never had the level of impact that they wanted.

leaders who value building authentic relationships through

meaningful conversations. The team at ALA Public Relations is

passionate about making sure each client is matched with media

placements that align with their voice. Media training is also

provided to help experts develop confidence, clarity and

composure during interviews.

winning coach who brings a burning desire to win for her clients.

The lessons from playing sports such as teamwork, never giving up

and assisting others is infused into the culture of ALA Public

Relations.
