Vanessa Walther-Meade is a Director of Client Services on the Culture Change team at Bully Pulpit International (BPI), where she helps entertainment leaders, philanthropies, brands, and nonprofit organizations turn cultural influence into social impact strategy.
Vanessa specializes in advising high-profile individuals and organizations at the intersection of entertainment and impact, helping clients move from ambitious ideas to executable strategy and partnerships. Her work spans foundation strategy, talent-led social impact initiatives, coalition-building, large scale events, and brand partnerships, with a particular specialty in political strategy and campaign engagement. She has worked with clients including Kerry Washington, Camila Cabello, Bradley Cooper, PolicyLink, Conservation Lands Foundation, and more.

Before joining BPI, Vanessa worked at Propper Daley and the UTA Foundation, supporting entertainment-driven social impact initiatives and partnerships. She also worked with This Is About Humanity and the Consulate General of Mexico, two experiences that shaped her focus on storytelling as a tool for civic and social change.
