Ryan Fletcher founded Movement Media in 2013 and leads the firm in providing essential communications support to its mission-driven partners. Ryan’s professional tenure in public relations began in 2002 and grew out of years of progressive activism, and work as a promoter and organizer in Washington, D.C.’s storied independent and activist-oriented punk rock music scene.
Clients and colleagues regard Ryan highly for having a “keen creative sensibility, fighting heart, and dynamite work ethic,” and for being “skilled with the tools we all need in order to speak our truths with passion, power, and precision.”
Since 2013, Ryan has served as the Director of Public Relations for Dr. Bronner’s. In this role, Ryan is a steward of the brand’s communications and representation in the public sphere and works to position the company as “the fighting soap company” while protecting and promoting the integrity of the brand and its mission. Under Ryan’s leadership, Dr. Bronner’s PR team manages the brand’s global PR strategy and assists with select philanthropic and advocacy-related partnerships and projects. Ryan also advises on Dr. Bronner’s Executive Council.
Ryan and the Movement Media team have facilitated thousands of media placements on behalf of Dr. Bronner’s in leading media outlets and have created a series of short films about the projects and farmers that Dr. Bronner’s sources its major ingredients from around the world, namely, Journey to Serendipol and Journey to Pavitramenthe. Ryan also directs the company’s international giving program, the All-One International Initiative, as well as Dr. Bronner’s philanthropy in support of animal advocacy organizations working to address the terrible plight of factory-farmed animals, promote more compassionate and sustainable lifestyle choices, and defend ocean wildlife around the world. This program has directed over $4 million in funding between 2013 and 2023.
In addition to this work with Dr. Bronner’s, and running Movement Media, Ryan is an advisor on public relations and communications strategy to Regenerative Organic Alliance, Sun+Earth, and Indigenous Medicine Conservation Fund.
