Convey at a Glance.
Convey Communications is a strategic communications firm that thrives by using only senior level practitioners who are B2B-fluent and get the complexities that go along with it. We understand technology inside and out, and some may go so far as to say we’re bordering on a little, well, obsessed with tech (we don’t think you’ll mind).
How we work.
We believe that in order to properly represent your company and achieve the PR goals you desire, we must be entrenched in the culture and workflow of your business. We’ll deep dive into your buying committee, your personas and even your sales process to better understand who your ideal customer is, how we should reach them and when and where they spend their time.
You can trust that we will understand your business model and will align our goals with your overall business objectives.
Meet our team.
We are proud of our team, but not just because of how hard we work to achieve results (we believe that should be a given). We are proud of our collective knowledge in the B2B space. PR programs for B2B companies are complex and require a deep level of knowledge, strategy and tactics. At Convey, we have the right combination of skills and will execute the right strategies to exceed expectations for our clients.

Andrea Lechner-Becker
Marketing Strategist
Andrea Lechner-Becker is a flexible chameleon. Like goo, or Great Stuff, Andrea can be applied to any situation and add value. But beware! Because her excitable energy has been known to be contagious. So, if you’re looking to maintain a stale environment, look elsewhere.
Her work in consulting exposed her to almost every industry and every problem. The hardest ones were always her favorite to solve. She believes solving big problems requires a forensic approach. Through systematic and scientific methods, all problems can be reduced to their simplest form and solutioned.
Andrea loves creating training and enabling people to craft their ideas in ways that make audiences perk up, listen and act. Her training programs mix sponsorship, mentorship, hands-on training and regimented feedback sessions with curriculum delivered across mediums.
So yes, Andrea is smart, capable and impossible to bore, but more than that, she brings an intangible quality that teams need: good-natured candor. In today’s world, being good-natured feels like a flaw. Smiling on a meeting. Not getting down to business right away. And yet, to get things done, to hear all sides in an impartial way, then to challenge the status quo and push for what’s next with candor, Andrea believes that good-nature helps. She will bring a relatable, honest voice to any room.
