What people say about our work

Eleanor Allen
Our mission is to make flourishing a clear, measurable, and achievable goal for the future of work to benefit employees, organizations, and society as a whole. Peak performance happens when flourishing becomes the measure of success. LESA helped us craft this message clearly, succinctly, and memorably. It has been a rewarding and eye opening experience working together. We learned so much.

Since the inception of Catalyst 2030, LESA Communications has been a first class support and partner. In the time that Catalyst has grown from a handful of organisations to more than three thousand, Lesa has accompanied us all on this incredible journey of growth. Everything from tactical communications that has helped the org to scale across the globe to strategic input so that this growth dynamic did not dilute the brand message. Very good at working across cultures and especially at deeply understanding the way to communicate between global north and global south and vice versa. These skills are in short supply. Very happy to highly recommend LESA.

The LESA Communications workshop was excellent. The Silulo Foundation entrepreneurs learned so much. It was practical, engaging and empowering. It brought a lot of aha moments for those entrepreneurs who are not using social media. Thank you so much for your time and empowering our Foundation entrepreneurs.

I’m happy to recommend LESA Communications highly, based on our excellent experience with them as our primary communications partner since we launched our new nonprofit several years ago. They’ve done it all for us: helped us pick product names, build websites, develop multiple blog series to help tell our impact stories, arrange high quality photography in the field in Africa, and more. In addition to doing so much of the comms day-to-day and project work, they also act as our outsourced comms director, helping us stay on program, develop story pitches and work with media outlets to cover our work. All while meeting the typical tight deadlines and at a surprisingly affordable cost.

Over the past four years, the LESA team has played a pivotal role in establishing our brand identity. This includes creating our logo, brand colours, and brand and style guidelines. Moreover, they have expanded the website from five pages to a comprehensive ‘parent’ site with 12 sub-domains. Our website, www.catalyst2030.net, ranks among the top 8% of websites according to Google Analytics, a testament to their website development expertise.
