Grace Cerrone is an innovator and strategist with a notable career built on pioneering new frontiers where technology, media, and audience engagement intersect. Her work is defined by a consistent track record of forward-thinking execution: from leading integrated media campaigns that engaged millions of television viewers to raising six-figure seed funding and developing a proprietary advocacy platform designed to strengthen democratic engagement.
Before digital engagement was a common business term, Grace was on the front lines shaping how massive audiences interact with brands and media. As a creative producer during the explosion of social media at MySpace, she managed multi-million-dollar campaigns for Fortune 500 companies like Toyota and AT&T. She went on to pioneer one of the first successful integrations of live network television and online participation, developing a celebrity campaign for ABC’s Dancing with the Stars that engaged 25 million weekly viewers and began a new standard for interactive entertainment. Even at the earliest dawn of e-commerce, Grace proved the viability of a brand-new market by selling $2.5 million in luxury vehicles, innovating for one of the first major online dealers.
This expertise in large-scale engagement evolved into a passion for building new solutions from the ground up. As founder of an innovative advocacy tech company, Grace founded and architected a proprietary, data-driven platform to bridge the gap between constituents and policymakers while leading an award-winning advisory team. Her vision secured seed funding and resulted in a U.S. Utility Patent pending for business process innovation, defining her status as an innovator in the democratic political engagement space. In the past two years, Grace has trained in data for campaigns and campaign management with Arena, the training ground for progressive campaigns that help to win elections.
Grace is excited to channel this blend of entrepreneurial vision, media savvy, and strategic execution as a Director of Marketing Strategy for Evangelicals for Democracy. She leverages her diverse experience to innovate with E4D’s critical mission-driven organization in developing sophisticated, data-informed strategies that mobilize communities, attract high-impact donors, and achieve lasting change. Grace is a threedecade member of her faith community, Agape International Spiritual Center, knowing that democracy and faith are in full alignment for the greater good of all people, We The People.
