The 'Mini Shaq' of Marketing | Copywriter @ Buckle | Freelance Digital Marketing Consultant, Content Marketing Strategist, & Social Media Strategist
Hi! 👋🏽 I’m Brenda. For help with all things digital marketing, I’m your gal. I’ve worked my magic for startups, big companies, and in-between. Some of my proudest projects are with brands like Apple, Lyft, Roku, HubSpot, Wendy’s, and more. 🌎 My approach? Creative + data-driven + lots of coffee (specifically from Dutch Bros 😉) = Results. Every brand has a story, and it’s my mission to make sure that story reaches the right eyes, gets those high engagement metrics, and most importantly, drives conversions. Some fun facts about me: 1) Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson follow me on Twitter! 2) I helped fundraise $30K to build a new school building for a school in Nigeria. 3) My cousin is Janelle Monáe. Don't be shy, let's work together!
