Team Soapbox takes pride in being a nimble organization, with seasoned communications experts skilled in public relations, media relations, marketing communications, public affairs, and branding. From its humble beginnings in a small loft in South Lake Union, Team Soapbox has grown to a team of seven employees and a new office location in Belltown.

Soapbox’s day-to-day work is about motivating people to change thinking and take action, whether that’s drafting strategic messaging to inspire donors to support a capital campaign for low-income housing, or encouraging legislators to invest in early learning initiatives.
