Sophia Lewis

Account Manager Sophia Lewis grasps the intricacies of business and has an exceptional ability to clarify the complex through communications.

At Purpose Brand, Sophia advises clients on clear, comprehensive and compelling communications for industries from health care and technology to finance. This dynamic, award-winning marcom executive made a successful career pivot from financial analyst to omnichannel marketing strategist, with a 15-year record of driving brand awareness, thought leadership, customer engagement and revenue growth.

LinkedIn and PR News recognized her work developing Aetna’s executive thought leadership program. She was instrumental in developing a four-day global event, held virtually and live in Singapore during the pandemic, establishing the events strategist network PCMA for crisis management excellence.

Sophia sharpened her business acumen leading valuation teams at BMO and UBS and handling P&L reporting, financial modeling and risk analysis and management. She transitioned from finance in Sapient’s digital consultancy, working with Citadel, CVS Health, MasterCard, Meijer, Royal Bank of Canada, Target, Verizon and other clients.

A native Chicagoan, she chalks up this career trajectory to her family’s insistence she stay close to home and attend a Midwestern college in economics instead of entering Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on a fast track to become a NASA astronaut. She lives on the South Side and enjoys attending city-sponsored events along Lake Michigan’s shoreline, volunteering for neighborhood organizations and spending time with her family.
