Maya Francis is a writer, editor, public speaker, and award-winning marketing strategist.

As a leader of local and global teams in tech, CPG, entertainment, retail, and non-profits, I have developed strategic marketing plans and managed editorial operations to help companies connect with their target audiences.

I specialize in content development for traditional, digital and social channels. In 2015, I won a Gold Effie Award for my work with the FDA. I led the editorial direction and social strategy of the Webby Award-nominated Sisters from AARP, a weekly lifestyle digital newsletter for which I worked as Editor-In-Chief.

My writing has been published in multiple print and digital publications including Teen Vogue, Esquire, and Philadelphia magazines. My television and radio appearances include CNN and NPR. Additionally, my work includes media appearances and speaking engagements. Past presentations include work with the University of Pennsylvania’s Social Justice Research Academy, as well as media literacy seminars for high school teens. I also work as a consultant with agencies and brands to develop resonant, relevant content.
