Are you ready to lead?

If you’ve ever thought, “No one has ever heard of us,” or “It’s so hard to build an audience today,” you don’t need content. You don’t need PR.

What you need is to demonstrate leadership.

To do that, you need a compelling story that moves people’s hearts.

And you need to communicate that story consistently, repeatedly, and authentically.

According to Harvard Business Review, most leaders under-communicate by a factor of 10. No wonder they struggle to make their visions clear.

That’s where I can help.

I’m Dylan Tweney, and I run Tweney Media, a leadership communications agency with a difference.

I don’t just create content or campaigns.

I help create leaders.

Tweney Media is a leadership communications agency run by Dylan Tweney, an award-winning journalist, writer, and editor.

I have decades of experience writing, editing, and helping tech companies tell their stories, win visibility, and establish themselves as market leaders — first as a journalist and then as a comms leader, both in-house and as part of an agency.

My approach is based on this journalistic background and my passion for helping transformative technologies win the recognition they deserve.

That’s my story. Let me help you tell yours.
