We make education policy accessible, compelling, and actionable through strategic communications, creative storytelling, and community-centred design.
When you work with keynoted, you get communications that are strategically rigorous, creatively fearless, and built by people who actually understand education.
To make education policy accessible, compelling, and actionable through strategic communications, creative storytelling, and community-centred design.
A world where every student, family, and community has the information they need to navigate and shape the education systems around them.
keynoted was founded on a simple observation: education has a communication problem — and it's not because the people doing the work don't care. It's because the tools, strategies, and design thinking that other industries take for granted haven't reached the spaces that need them most.
We bridge that gap. Through student programs, strategic services, and content that builds the field, we bring communications excellence into education — not as an afterthought, but as a discipline.
The way a school tells its story shapes whether families trust it. The way a student presents themselves shapes whether they get the opportunity. The way a district frames a policy shapes whether a community supports it. We exist to make every one of those moments sharper, clearer, and more human.
We translate jargon into language that empowers. If the community can't understand it, it doesn't work.
Every choice centres the communities most impacted. Accessibility and inclusion aren't add-ons — they're starting points.
Education deserves the same creative energy as any other industry. We refuse to settle for boring when the stakes are this high.
We listen first, design second, and always stay accountable to the people we serve.
Founder & Creative Director
Nas went to four high schools across three years in two states, navigating five different learning modalities before graduating early. That experience — of systems that don't communicate clearly with students or about students — is at the heart of why keynoted exists.
A strategic communications professional with roots in K-12 education, Nas has worked as a Title I Paraprofessional, Academic Interventionist, STEM Facilitator, and AmeriCorps Teaching Fellow. He brings a rare combination of classroom proximity and creative direction to every project.
Currently a junior at American University studying Public Relations & Strategic Communication, Nas serves as a Strategic Communications Fellow at the DC State Board of Education and leads program development at Bridge the District.
