Entrepreneur Bria Brown isn’t yet 30 years old, but she brings a decade of knowledge to her clients – and this show! – because she started her media career while in high school, and she’s kept it moving ever since.
From unpaid intern to print media to digital content producer, Bria’s 10+ years in the field have refined her skill with authentic storytelling. She’s learned what news stations and digital producers are looking for in a story, and now she’s here to tell YOU.
So, listen in to enjoy tales from her journey – particularly her life-changing trek to New York City to cover the Youth Over Guns march – as well as the mistakes people make when they pitch her a story, why she loves bullet points, how important photos are to your story (very), how short your story summary should be (very), why she calls press kits ‘the resumé for your brand,’ what she means by ‘Circle of Digital’ …and more!“To break through the noise and get heard, first and foremost, you should not be focused on the Likes – you definitely have to focus on your story.” – Bria Brown
