Briagenn

Writer by nature; marketer by nurture

I’ve been writing my way through life’s ups and downs since 2010 with my explosive “Briagenn on Bacon” high school newspaper column. 14 years later, and I’m just getting started.

The way I like to write can be summed up with a story.

It was early in 2015, my senior year, and I was sitting in my advisor’s office at Ohio University. When he asked me what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, I carefully considered the question. “Well,” I began nervously, “Honestly, I’d really like to be the person who writes the descriptions on the back of shampoo bottles.” Instead of rolling his eyes like I fully expected, he chuckled and said, “Now, there’s a goal.”

And it’s true — my goal as a writer is to connect brands to their customers in interesting, surprising ways. When you’re taking a shower, there’s not much else to do other than read the description on the back of shampoo bottles, so those writers might as well make those descriptions as impactful as possible. They’re a small but mighty chance to connect with people in quite literally the most intimate setting — when they’re fully naked, washing their hair.

I loved the idea of that career opportunity and wanted to run with it. And although I haven’t exactly written any shampoo bottle descriptions yet, I’ve done a ton of other cool sh*t that nervous 21-year-old Briagenn would be ecstatic over. I’ve developed web copy for industry-leading brands, I’ve experienced the phenomena of going viral with my well-honed words, and I’ve seen my work blasted on a billboard overlooking the Las Vegas Boulevard.

And like I said, I’m just getting started.

So if you’re a company in desperate need of a writer, editor, and storyteller, hello — you’ve found your girl. And if you’re a shampoo company looking for somebody to write the descriptions on the back of your bottles. What a wonderful happenstance that you’re here. I’m open for hire 🙂
