About Walker Post

I’m a mission-driven strategist who helps brands turn good intentions into measurable outcomes — combining data-driven research, people-centered storytelling and social innovation. Over the past eight years, I’ve partnered with companies including Hinge, Foot Locker, Teach For America, United Way, American Red Cross, Thrivent, SeriousFun Children’s Network, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Along the way, I’ve helped build award-winning campaigns, launch purpose-driven products and designed platforms that mobilize global communities for good. In 2020, I founded Covalent, a nonprofit education platform that trained 150+ college students in digital marketing and provided pro bono support to 80+ small businesses and nonprofits across the Midwest. My work and writing have appeared in Fast Company, Vogue Business, WBEZ, Nonprofit PRO, Authority Magazine, HP’s The Garage, and the Chicago Sun-Times, as well as in the book Division Street: The Remix Sessions. Born and raised in Chicago, now based in Brooklyn, I split my time between strategy, music production, and mentoring students looking to scale their own social impact ventures. I’m happiest where community, culture and creativity intersect — wherever that may be.
