If you drink it, eat it, clean (or soften) with it, fly on it, invest with it, or watch it, it’s likely a brand Leeann has worked on. She grew up as a planner at big and small agencies in NYC before joining VIA. These days she continues to work with great and powerful brands, but now she also gets to live in an antique shipmaster’s house with her husband, their 3 lovely children and their pet schnerrier.
