More About Brenda
I began my career in mass media as a television news reporter with a coveted front-row seat to history. I covered the Republican revolution in the US Congress, presidential campaigns, state budget announcements, education, local government, crime and emotionally-charged human interest stories for NBC and FOX affiliates.
Working in the news helped me become a studious analyst, eagle-eyed editor, clever wordsmith, zealous pun-ster, early adopter and trend-spotter.
After leaving the industry, I spent five years building successful marketing programs for nonprofit and government agencies. Tapping a hidden entrepreneurial streak, I teamed up with Heidi Strand to found Blue Door Consulting.
Today, media relations is just one element of my toolkit. But, I do relish in helping clients develop and implement strategies that land them in the spotlight on their own terms.
And, just in case you need my credentials – I earned my Master’s in Public Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and am a summa cum laude graduate of Wartburg College with degrees in Communication Arts/Electronic Media and Political Science.
