Brett Kell’s Summary
Over the past ten years, I've built a broad writing and communications skill set both inside and outside of the traditional work environment. These skills include writing, editing, project management, brand management, communications, design, photography and more.
In reading countless magazines, Web sites, newspapers, blogs, zines, newsletters, annual reports, restaurant reviews, cereal boxes and street signs, I've pondered the myriad ways in which words affect our decisions and the ways we communicate with one another. Since communications and creativity are so vitally important to the success of a business entity, I've wondered how I could help others get these things right the first time.
In short, I'm looking for opportunities to build my portfolio and my capacity.
My interest in leadership has deepened my commitment to help local organizations and business grow through creativity, quality, accessibility and collaboration. If you or someone you know might benefit from what I have to offer, please let me know.
