Communications Firm

“Drive Media & Consulting brought valuable real-world education and knowledge to our students that they are simply not getting anywhere else. 

Lacey organized programming, and the perfect stakeholders  that was engaging, relevant, and impactful to our students.”

— Pamela Janack, Henninger High School

“Drive Media & Consulting provided thoughtful media support and communications surrounding the historic 50th anniversary commemoration honoring Rev. Betty Bone Schiess and the first woman Eucharistic service in the Episcopal Church.

Lacey Leonardi understood the significance of preserving and elevating a moment that helped break the ‘stained glass ceiling’ for women in ministry. Her work helped bring broader public awareness to an event rooted in faith, history, courage, and social change, while ensuring the storytelling remained respectful, authentic, and community-centered.

Her experience in media relations and public engagement helped a deeply meaningful gathering that brought together clergy, community members, historians, and supporters from across the region.”

Susan Keeter, Grace Church Warden

“I began working with Lacey Leonardi as a sergeant in my role as SPD’s Public Information Officer, and continued to work with her throughout my career, even during my time as Chief of Police.  I have always been impressed with both her professionalism and her compassion.  She is the type of journalist who never forgets that behind every good story there are good people living that story.”

Working with Lacey was an exceptional experience. During a recent video shoot using a teleprompter, I was initially very nervous, but her coaching and guidance immediately put me at ease. Lacey walked me through every step of the process, helping me refine my delivery, emphasize key messaging, and present myself confidently on camera. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and encouraging approach made a tremendous impact on both my comfort level and the overall quality of the final product. I was extremely pleased with the end result and highly recommend her coaching expertise.

“Lacey brings a rare combination of media expertise, strategic communication skills, and genuine community connection. Her ability to bring multiple agencies and organizations together around a shared mission is exceptional. During our discussions on multi-agency charity fundraising events, it became clear that she understands not only how to generate visibility, but how to create meaningful public engagement that drives results.”
