Andrew Cardy

I co-founded a not-for-profit community of creative professionals focused on creating high quality content for indigenous NGO's, community development field teams working abroad, and front line missionaries.

• We've donated over $50,000 of time and talent to date.

• Developed and led the 2023 Media Summit for One Kingdom, a team of social media trainers serving in Europe.
• Taught at several conferences, workshops, and online events about the power of storytelling and coaching teams in the field how to tell their stories well.
• In a little over 5 days of donated time, we've created content that's been seen by over 500,000 people in 8 countries.

Upon being acquired by Client Focused Media in 2023, I contributed to the leadership team of the agency as we scaled from 7 employees to 30 and grew our agency revenue by 200 percent in just under 22 months.
