Bill Leebens
The rare hire who has already done the job from every side of the table: manufacturer marketing director, founding magazine editor, show producer, marketplace public face, and working journalist. I help high-end audio brands say something worth reading — then get it in front of the people who matter.
PS Audio · Director of Marketing & Communications · Founding editor, Copper (97 issues) · Audiogon · AXPONA seminar programming · Stereophile · Dwell · The Audio Cynic
How brands use me
Three clear engagement shapes — full-time, fractional, or project. Details on the services page.
US Market Launch
Positioning, press kit, review strategy, dealer talking points, and show presence for brands entering or re-entering the U.S.
Editorial Program
Owned content that builds trust: essays, founder stories, heritage narratives, interview series — without sounding like brochure copy.
Fractional CMO / Comms
Ongoing marketing leadership for companies that need a senior voice without a full-time hire — PR, reviews, messaging, show strategy.
Selected work
- Copper — founding editor; ~97 issues of long-form music & audio writing for PS Audio (Paul McGowan’s thank-you)
- Stereophile — “As We See It” and industry commentary (Smart Devices, Stupid People)
- Dwell — mainstream design audience piece on living with sound
- AXPONA — multi-year seminar programming for the largest U.S. audio show
- The Audio Cynic — ongoing column on pt.AUDIO and audiocynic.com
