Alexander Boykin

Senior Account Manager

Alex (also known as Bob) believes the world could use more color! He brings ideas, creativity and passion to every project or challenge he tackles. Alex combines his love and expertise in branding, digital strategy and communications to help nonprofits and foundations make a lasting impact. He’s led rebranding projects for organizations such as Nature Forward, Capitalize Good and the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, creating identities that reflect their missions and inspire action. His work extends to shaping narratives and fostering civic engagement. Through the Best-Case Scenario project, Alex brought the interactive “Moment of Courage” activity to life, encouraging resilience during tense times. He blended culture, creativity and strategy for NEO Philanthropy’s 2022 midterm election digital library by creating concepts and working with several graphic designers to produce a digital library of election memes and GIFs for NEO Philanthropy. As co-lead of Spitfire’s Pro Bono Fund, Alex advances racial justice and supports Black-led organizations. He’s played key roles in revamping tools like Smart Chart 4.0® and Spitfire’s 2020 Digital Smarts guide. Based in Washington, D.C., Alex is a proud product of the DMV (D.C. metro region). He sees his work as an extension of his belief that design and communications can drive progress and build a more equitable future.
