About our founder

Passionate musician turned Digital Strategist/Artist Manager, Leesa Snider is in the business of helping musicians do what they do best - creating and releasing music.  

Leesa founded Achord Agency after returning from working abroad at Weller Media Agency in Brooklyn, New York. Achord Agency specialises in social channel auditing, identifying brand narrative, multi-channel reporting, scheduled posting, content creation and most importantly, social strategy campaigns specifically created for upcoming artist releases. Her approach to building an artist’s career is multi-faceted, always including social media and marketing as a key task that deserves time and strategizing.  

Whilst abroad, Leesa worked on large-scale artist profiles, from the likes of Republic Records, G Herbo, Kenny Chesney, Pnau and more. Achord Agency will celebrate its four-year anniversary on May 13, 2023. During Achord Agency’s growth, Leesa has had the pleasure of working with exceptional Australian businesses and artists including the Victorian Music Development Office, Sarah Hamilton from One of One, Festival of Jewish Music and Arts (FOJAM), Multicultural Arts Victoria, Lisa Mitchell, Eliza Hull, Amaru Tribe, Keiino, Offbeat Music Festival and many more.

Achord Agency currently manages JAZZPARTY, Velvet Bloom, and Loretta Miller and looks to further expand to better help more incredible artists and businesses, local and international to realize their career potential.
