About

I’m Akhil Vyas, a UK-based social media, content, and PR professional who loves turning strategy into engaging, human-first communication. I lead social and content planning, manage community engagement and customer service through social channels, and develop performance reporting and KPI frameworks that keep work aligned with business goals.

Across my roles, I’ve built influencer partnerships, managed PR campaigns (including media outreach and PR stunts), and strengthened brand visibility through clear storytelling. I also enjoy presenting and hosting—representing brands on camera when needed—and I bring experience in event management and crisis communications, helping teams respond quickly, confidently, and with consistency.
