Brandon Cox – Founder, and Chief Wordsmith
I am an award-winning marketing and communications professional. In everything I do, I am trying to connect people with information, ideas, and each other so they can make a difference.
For more than a decade, I produced bylines from city halls and sidelines to hold power to account and celebrate the successes of the communities I’ve served. I sharpened my storytelling skills through column inches in newspapers and magazines all around the country. Beyond journalism, my knack for communication opened doors for me to work in nuclear energy, public policy advocacy, and corporate marketing.
I earned an MBA from Louisiana State University after finishing my undergrad at Kentucky Wesleyan College. Throughout my career, I’ve progressed through roles of increasing responsibility to become a C-suite executive in multiple industries.
I am available for consulting, copywriting, presentations, speechwriting, speaking engagements, strategy sessions, and workshop facilitation.
bio:
I'm Brandon. I believe too many people are uninformed and unengaged in the world around them. So, I’ve made it my mission to connect people with information, ideas, and each other so they can make a difference in their communities.
I'm a 2010 graduate of Kentucky Wesleyan College with a B.A. in Visual Communications (Graphic Design with a minor in Journalism) and earned my Marketing MBA from Louisiana State University.
When not writing for work I play guitar, cycle, dabble in photography, and still plan on writing the next great American novel. My stupid ambitious goals are to climb Kilimanjaro, write a book, cycle across America, and run for Congress – in no particular order.
I am a father of three (plus one on the way!) and husband to a beautiful bride who’s way, way out of my league. We have two dogs – one that sheds and one that barks. They’re literally the reason I get up in the morning.
