Kelli blake

Kelli Blake is a creative executive operating at the intersection of strategy and storytelling — with a track record of building programs, identities, and systems that cultural organizations can actually run. With a BA in Marketing from Clark Atlanta University, a certificate in Public Relations from NYU, and a Master's in Creative Leadership from SCAD, she brings both the analytical rigor and the instinctive read that institutional work demands. Colleagues have called it an "uncanny ability to understand the 'unsaid'" — Kelli calls it part skill, part something harder to name. Her work spans film festivals, nonprofits, media organizations, and cultural initiatives, always with the same through-line: leave it better, more functional, and more alive than you found it.
