Levinson also covered major events including September 11, 2001 and the aftermath, and the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Levinson also serves as an advisor on major social impact and public interest engagement campaigns, which include some of the most notable and headline-grabbing issues over the last several years, including the successful effort to achieve Equal Pay for the U.S. Women's National Team, numerous women’s sports leagues, teams, athletes, and advocates; multiple global efforts on behalf of journalists and journalism including assisting dozens of Afghan journalists to flee the Taliban; and efforts to free Americans detained or held hostage outside the U.S. She has been recognised as a communications and public relations industry leader, receiving notable honours including “Agency Leader of the Year,”Top Women in the Communications Industry,” “Crisis Manager of the Year,” “Top Woman in PR,” “Top 100 Legal Strategist,” “Women’s Empowerment Champion,” and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Champion.”
