Stacey Kumagai - Communications Specialist

Devoted to my passion and mission which is shaped by my long-lived in-the-trenches pathway of experiences, as a Transformational Thought Leader my drive is motivated by a sincere desire to move conversations forward. Celebrating 40 years as an Internal & External Communications Specialist, I learned first-hand the art of change-agent storytelling ‘from the inside-out’ narratives as a truth-seeker excavating journalist-turned seasoned Publicist/Media Relations/Media Training Consultant to promote progress and create change. 

Nominated for a Women in Business Award by OC Business Journal and touted as a pioneer by Wonder Women Tech, I am an innovator with the blessing (and sometimes challenge) of being ahead of my time as an Internal & External transformational emotional intelligence consultant  across thirty-three industries including 150 charity benefactors... Go Big or Go Home, I swing for the fences on behalf of all my clientele. Under Media Monster Communications, Inc, as a FULL-SERVICE CREATIVE PRODUCTION and BRIDGE-BUILDING professional, I handle all facets of conversation with storytelling expansion and global business communications into the cross-platform framework.
