Internal communications · Employee engagement · Content strategy

Clear communication.
Measurable connection.

I lead communications that turn business priorities into useful, accessible experiences, from enterprise intranets and employee newsletters to frontline outreach and change communications.

I combine editorial judgment, audience insight, visual communication, and disciplined project leadership to help employees find what they need and understand why it matters.

Communication systems,
not isolated deliverables.

The strongest internal communications connect channels, clarify priorities, and make the employee experience easier to navigate.

Flagship case study · Intranet strategy and design

Town Square

Designing a centralized employee communications hub that brought news, events, benefits, tools, team resources, and frequently used links into one organized SharePoint experience.

The challenge

Employees needed a clearer, more useful home for company information, as well as one that supported both timely communications and self-service access to everyday resources.

My role

I led the project’s content architecture, page design, formatting, organization, launch communications, cross-functional coordination, and ongoing content management.

Result

Town Square reached 1,251 unique viewers and generated 45,458 visits within its first seven months.

Complex information, made usable.

I lead projects across formats, from technical change communications and internal guides to employee events and culture campaigns. Each piece is designed around the same question: what does the audience need to know or do next?

02 / About

Strategy with an operator’s mindset.

Andrew Lesniak, internal communications professional

I’m an internal communications professional with 8+ years of experience spanning employee engagement, multichannel content, project leadership, marketing, and operations.

My background helps me see both sides of the work: the message employees need and the coordination required to deliver it. I’m at my best when a project calls for clear writing, thoughtful design, stakeholder alignment, and dependable execution from concept through launch.

In 2024, colleagues selected me for a companywide Parts Town Core Value Award—recognition that reflects not only the quality of my work, but how I anticipate needs, connect ideas across teams, approach challenges with a can-do mindset, and help colleagues move good ideas into action.
