ABOUT ALICIA
Alicia Gleiter Ward brings over two decades of advertising, branding, public relations, marketing, budgeting and business management experience to the clients of Ward Communications LLC. Never one to shy away from a new challenge, Ward is a results-oriented, strategic public relations, communications and marketing professional with a track record of creative and successful communications campaigns for a variety of brands.
After a career helping to create and cultivate the brand and business of two wonderful professional service firms (CPA and Law) headquartered in the Lowcountry, Ward “retired” to figure out what she wanted to be when she grew up! After a summer of road trips, car pool driving make-up time, beach and pool bumming, catching up on photo albums, email detox, House of Cards binging and closet organizing (they are a mess again), she launched Ward Communications LLC with the aim of helping dynamic entrepreneurs and small to mid-size businesses leverage and enhance their communications and marketing initiatives and departments.
Today her client base still includes a few law firms and certified public accountants, but has also included others such as a preschool, a wedding gown boutique, artists, an author, a developer, real estate professionals and several not for profit organizations. In 2017, she co-founded Trinity Model & Talent Management LLC with friend Shanna Lowery Petry.
She has truly enjoyed being an entrepreneur, meeting and working with industry professionals she has known for years and those she has recently met during both exciting adventures.
Ward earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in advertising and public relations from the USC School of Journalism and is a proud Summerville High School Alumni. She has served on the Executive Committee of the Board of Director’s for the SC Public Relations Society of America and the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry. She is a proud recipient of Charleston’s Best and Brightest Award, Charleston’s 40 Under 40 Award and a Leadership Charleston graduate. The work created and executed by Ward and her teammates over the years has earned twelve Legal Marketing Your Honor Awards, five Silver Wing Awards, four Mercury Awards, three AAM awards, two Telly awards, one Addy award, a Best of Show title from the International Diamond Awards and several wrinkles (smile lines of course)!
When Ward is not jumping between client meetings, posting on social for a client or not-for-profit she volunteers for, or scouting for modeling talent, she can likely be found with a travel coffee mug and her husband Justin, cheering on Jake, Noah and/or Grace beside a field, track, or pool or driving her mini-van to one of those places.
