KELLY BROCKMEIER
STORYTELLER/MARKETER
BRAND AMBASSADOR

About
My maiden name is Clemons — and I swear this storytelling thing is in the blood. For those not aware, Mark Twain's real name was Samuel Clemens. Just like my famous great, great, great uncle, I love to tell stories.
I've taken my skills as a former television journalist and translated them into nearly two decades of brand-building and marketing leadership for some of the nation's most recognized nonprofit organizations, like Wounded Warrior Project. Along the way I've secured more than $300M in gift-in-kind media, led omni-channel campaigns that drove broad brand awareness, partnered with major brands like Marvel, Yahoo, and A&E as well as national TV personalities including Dr. Phil, Drew Barrymore, and Tamron Hall — all while helping organizations rebuild their brands from the ground up.
The good news is every brand has powerful stories waiting to be told — you just need the right person to find them. Great storytelling taps into powerful emotions, making people think and feel. In turn, it advances your brand, grows your audience, and inspires your customers and employees. Now more than ever, brands have the capacity to tell and share their own stories across a variety of channels and formats. For nearly 20 years I've led teams that have done exactly that — connecting mission to audience in ways that drive real, measurable results.

“Kelly is an unsung hero. She came into a situation that was imploding and did a great job cleaning up a terrible mess that was years in the making. She has elevated the way we are doing things and has brought her team out of the darkness. Most people would have run for the exit in her situation yet she doubled down and drove the changes needed."
