Andrew Bartolotta

Andrew Bartolotta is a digital media professional connecting passion and purpose through technology. As Director of Digital Media for cityCURRENT, he manages all of our social media and digital outreach, and also does the sound engineering for our ChangeMakers podcast and produces our GOODworks videos. If that isn't enough, he assists with all of our events, research and development projects, and graphic arts, too!

Equipped with both design and marketing skills, Andrew enjoys using digital media and his social network to empower community problem solvers and to ignite change. During his college years, he volunteered over 1,000 hours of pro-bono skills-based work with local small businesses and nonprofits to expand their communications efforts. Andrew used that experience to bolster impact at his previous job as Senior Communications at Leadership Memphis; and he's used those skillsets recently as Board Chair for Let's Innovate Through Education and as a member of the Memphis Young Professionals for the American Cancer Society.

In 2014, Andrew was invited to the White House twice as a digital media innovator by the Office of Digital Strategy to learn from their team and collaborate with the office on expanding existing content to new digital platforms.

Andrew regularly speaks on the topics of social media and social good at various events and conferences, like the 2015 Points of Light National Conference on Volunteering and Service.

In his spare time, he enjoys visiting the local farmers markets, traveling, and attending Memphis-centric events with friends and his wife, Lacey. He is an alum of Leadership Memphis and an emerging philanthropist through GiVE 365.

Testimonials

Dear cityCURRENT Crew, we can't thank you enough for the incredible honor at the Kathrine Switzer breakfast. Your generosity to GOTR Memphis in this inaugural year has been outstanding. Because of you, we are able to recruit more volunteers, grow community partnerships, and fund our programs at more schools. We could not have asked for a more perfect champion of Girls on the Run.
Joanna Lipman , Girls on the Run Memphis
Over the past several years I've been asked more than a handful of times about Duncan Williams Asset Management's involvement in cityCURRENT. My answer is always the same... Renewing our membership is one of the easiest and best decisions that we make each year! I can't say enough how proud we are to continue to be a member of such a great organization doing truly meaningful work here in the Memphis community.
David Scully , President, Duncan Williams Asset Management

To see living embodiments of real and true compassion and caring for others, all gathered in one place gave me some sense of the astounding range, depth and sustained good works the business community in Memphis is doing. It was clear to me
