Bio
C. Brian Stevens
Brandi has an innate sense of knowing what her team needs. She was always attentive to the community and to the desires of her team getting involved, supporting the customers who supported them. Having planned community events in the Lexington, KY-area myself, I know this is not the easiest place to find organizations needing more than just one or two people at a time, but Brandi made every effort to connect her fellow employees with those opportunities. She continually attended conference calls and looked for ways to make a bigger impact with her team. She is also something of a renaissance woman. Her interests are wide-ranging as is her experience, and she always works to balance the fun, approachable Brandi with the serious, business-minded Brandi. She is a person who can get things done by drawing on her vast store of experience and learning to find solutions to whatever issue may present itself.

What really impressed me most about Brandi is just how polished she is when presenting her skills in managing people efficiently !

I contracted Brandi to be our short-term online/social media evangelist on several projects. Brandi helped garner more 'buzz', more activity, more exposure and more actual -- TANGIBLE -- followers to these online programs with 45 days than I was able to produce with a full-time staff of 4 in a 6 month period of time. Brandi truly knows her craft and dove into our projects head first and ALL IN. It was amazing to see the quantifiable results that Brandi produced in such a short period of time. I would recommend Brandi for any online or offline marketing, awareness or creative campaign.
