Defy Communications was launched in 2017 by co-founders Joanne Krell and Omar Hussain as a way to connect the most courageous and modern communications strategies with mission-driven work. Ultimately, it’s Defy’s own mission to partner with extraordinary people and organizations on issues, causes and movements that defy convention, perception and limitation while helping to deliver the outcomes our society deserves.

At Defy, we believe communications has become deeper and wider than ever, and now elements of neuroscience, social anthropology and evolving technological interventions have to be recognized in communications theory and practice. Seeing around the curve and off the horizon while resisting conventional thinking have never been more important to helping organizations succeed. We are strategists that activate through communications, and we understand how to translate modern thinking and approaches into outcomes that serve your end goal.
