ABOUT ME

I’m Bridgett, a digital marketer who has worked almost exclusively with nonprofits, social causes, and mission-driven companies. I think the world needs ethical marketers so that organizations who do great work can reach more people.

I help my clients get to know their audiences and develop people-centered marketing strategies. I'm one of those T-shaped marketers who takes great joy in using a broad range of creative and technical skills to reach her audience. I like doing the challenging and satisfying work of helping organizations transform their communications culture (which usually leads to lots of other powerful change if you do it right.) 

I feel lucky that my career means I get to practice improving my communications skills every day. I have a tendency to be the earnest one in the office, so believe me when I say that I think thoughtful communication has the power to change the world.

  • Experiment: Blog Dashboard - A fun marketing project we did to change Highland's culture around blogging by motivating people with pet pictures

Learn More About My Work

I recently stopped maintaining a detailed portfolio since most of the work I do is under nondisclosure agreements. If you're curious about a particular project I've worked on, I'd be happy to share more privately. 

In the meantime, I try to keep my LinkedIn updated with detailed descriptions of the impact my work has made for my employers.
