About

Hi, I'm Noam :)I’m a strategic communications and public relations professional based outside of Los Angeles. I currently work for Nava, a public benefit corporation making government services simple, effective, and accessible to all.Over the years I have helped multi-million dollar companies, health systems, and government clients achieve their goals. I enjoy the complexity of both protecting and promoting a client's brands, as well as the deep thinking and planning my work calls for.Not long ago, I also got the chance to work with my mom, Dr. Tal Leead (PsyD), on editing, publishing, and marketing her first self-help book titled "Happier Being". Bringing this book to life was one of the most challenging yet rewarding projects I have been a part of. In 2022, "Happier Being" became an Amazon #1 best seller - we are both very proud.Apart from my professional work, I write a newsletter focused on allergy-friendly food & dining in the LA/SoCal area called "The Choosy Foodie". I'm also a big health nerd and sci-fi fantasy reader.Below are some writing and work samples from various positions throughout my career...

Work Product

• HAPPIER BEING

Happier Being: Your Path to Optimizing Habits, Health & Happiness is Dr. Tal's first book published in September of 2022. In addition to being the official developmental editor and point on public relations, I helped the book become a #1 best-seller on Amazon through content marketing & KDP ranking strategy. Bringing this book to life and growing Dr. Tal's psychology practice was both a challenging and highly rewarding experience! Below are some pieces I helped ghost-write and secure coverage for:

• "Leaning Into the "Jewish Mom" Stereotype" (The Jewish Journal)

• "How Our Small Habits Can Make Us Happier Beings" (Thrive Global)

• "Happiness is Contagious... Literally!" (Live Happy)

• CERRELL ASSOCIATES

Cerrell Associates is an LA-based public relations and public affairs agency that has delivered successful strategic communications and advocacy programs for primarily corporate and government clients. During my time at Cerrell I was on the PR & Crisis Communications team -- providing strategic counsel, reputation management, and media relations services. My work product is broad, but here's a small sample of media hits I garnered for clients:

• Hollywood Burbank Airport (KTLA5)

• Providence Health's COO (Orange County Register)

• LISC LA's Executive Director (LA Sentinel)
