About Reilly Knecht
I connect the right people around the right ideas and help turn smart conversations into real outcomes.Over the past decade, I’ve worked across Capitol Hill, political campaigns, agencies, and the media industry, helping leaders navigate high-stakes moments through thoughtful storytelling, strong relationships, and well-timed convenings. My sweet spot is turning complexity into clarity and building trust in rooms where it actually matters.Now as director of client strategy at Urban Legend, I work with brands, nonprofits, and public affairs teams to partner with creators as strategic messengers, not placements, and to build campaigns rooted in trust, credibility, and impact.Fun fact: I’m slowly making my way through the AFI’s 100 greatest American films.Always open to coffee, conversation, and a good movie recommendation
