Anastasia King
Strategist / Producer / Vision Midwife
“It's simple: Anastasia is a force multiplier. Whatever she touches will get done better, faster, dreamier.”
- Josh Dean, Designer / Recording Artist
I empower leaders, creatives, activists and their organizations to make transformational dreams a reality. During three amazing decades, I have led multi-disciplinary teams with senior decision-makers, Global 500 brands, impactful NGOs, and top agencies to design and execute ambitious visions. (Find more details in my bio below and on the Portfolio page.) Now more than ever we need wild dreams, epic aspirations, and radical idealism leading the world. Business as usual just won’t cut it.
Gratefully, I am not dissuaded by what others deem “impossible”. In fact, “impossible” just might be my sweet spot. I’ve developed a unique capacity to apply Wharton-bred strategies and management principles to art, entertainment, and impact projects.
Culture and storytelling are the most powerful tools we possess to advance justice, peace and liberation for all. This truth drives everything I do.
Call me a catalyst, a dreamer, or a vision midwife. I help leaders identify and manifest bold, ambitious visions by opening challenging doors, deconstructing conventional wisdom, and delighting in unchartered territory. At the same time, I possess 30 years of real world experience in designing, operationalizing, and delivering real-world impact in entertainment, culture, and media spaces. And yes, it is rare to find someone adept at both fostering ideation and executing action plans. Let’s figure out how this unicorn capacity can deliver on your “impossible” idea.
It’s OK. Not everyone is ready to tackle the “impossible”. I’m just seeking those who are!
