INVIGORATING BRAND IDENTITY FOR POWERFUL MEDIA AND CONSUMER CAMPAIGNS

LEAH LOFTIN HALPERN created LLKent PR as a fresh alternative to public relations.    

For over a decade in New York, she has served as a Senior PR Strategist, spearheading campaigns for brands, organizations, and thought leaders in the fields of social impact, luxury lifestyle, fashion, health + wellness, arts + culture, and business.

Loftin’s forte is her powerfully creative approach to brand positioning and language, facilitating media introductions that bolster the profile of emerging brands in print, broadcast, and online.  Her work includes a diverse array of press placements that include The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Washington Post, The TODAY Show, Good Morning America, VOGUE, ELLE, The New Yorker and T Magazine, among hundreds of other national, international and regional placements. Additionally, Loftin represents a roster of cultural, public policy and industry leaders that she regularly positions for on-air broadcast and online thought leadership spotlights in top-tier national media including The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, CNN, Fox, Inc., Forbes, and beyond.

Loftin began her PR career in NYC representing over sixteen fashion runway shows every season as part of New York Fashion Week, and has managed global launches of numerous emerging and major fashion, accessories and beauty brands for both men and women. With a strong background in film, art, and culture, she has served as an in-house publicist for the Tribeca Film Festival and routinely represents prominent social documentaries and narratives as they make their way through the global film festival circuit and nationwide theatrical releases. Additionally, she has been brought in to manage the PR strategies of some of the nation’s most high-profile special events with the Sundance Film Festival, the SXSW Film Festival, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and numerous NYC fundraising events for the arts.

Most recently, Loftin has moved into the arena of social impact, representing organizations, nonprofits, and thought leaders with powerful world-changing ideas. She has served as a strategic media consultant to climate change innovators, disaster mental health experts, racial equality visionaries, anti-supremacist activists, COVID antibody testing entrepreneurs, and an NYC Mayoral Candidate. Loftin was extremely honored to be tapped to serve on the press team for the Inauguration and Inaugural Balls of President Barack Obama in Washington, DC.

“I have been lucky enough to find a new force in the world of marketing and public relations, a world which is full of fakes, flops, and falsies. – and believe me I have dealt with hundreds of them during a long career on the stage of public life. Leah Loftin combines energy and grace; drive and generosity; insight and bravado; a strong sense of strategy and spontaneity. These are combinations rarely found together in the same person. She is a major talent in the broad world of ideas and communication, and we will be hearing a lot about and from her going forward.”

“We had the pleasure of partnering with Leah Loftin for the implementation of our company’s brand refresh—immediately, she asked all of the right questions and dove right in. She applied her deep knowledge of the current state of the media to appropriately direct us in ways that met our comfort level, our brand story, and our budget—but also pushed us outside of our comfort zone to find creative new ways to enrich our story. Her energy, personability, creativity, professionalism, and impeccable work style made her a phenomenal extension of our team.”

Leah’s expertise in public relations helped me to strengthen my message and improve my alignment with media outlets that were a perfect match—all within a very short timeframe! Additionally, while Leah worked wonders behind the scenes, she taught me how to expand my grassroots marketing efforts. I am so grateful for her skills, her poise, her continual encouragement, and her coaching that had me reach for more than I initially thought possible.”
