Founder + Strategist Eric Hagemann
Words matter—but they can also be hard. That's where I come in.
I started Leif Media & PR to provide school districts, education organizations and nonprofits with exceptional, intentional communication that helps them achieve their dreams.
As a comms pro and lifelong learner, I'm passionate about telling stories that inspire. And, I know how to combine this with strategic support that engages audiences and meets (or exceeds!) goals.
Take a look around, or email me to start a conversation about how I can help you communicate better—and with heart.
I'm so glad you stopped by!
Sincerely,
Leave it to Leif

Generations in the Making
Curious about my journey? Wondering where ‘Leif’ comes from? Here’s the 4-1-1.

I'm an award-winning communicator who cut his teeth in the private, public and PR agency worlds. I'm a voracious reader, writer and creator who hates being cold...yet moonlights as a skating coach. (It's called dedication, okay?)
StrengthsFinder tells me I'm also a developer who values input and empathy, and who "absorbs the written word like a sponge sops up water." (That feels eerily accurate.) My core values of kindness, inclusion, empathy and joy guide me daily—and will no doubt shape the work we do together.
As for the name Leif? All credit goes to my inspiring, fearless, absolutely wonderful (and often spunky) great-grandma, Ellen Leif. While she's no longer with us, this company (and the work I do) honors her indomitable spirit each and every day.
