Marissa Brassfield’s Summary

I am a freelance editor and head of marketing for TrendHunter.com, the world's largest trend spotting website. I have over 3,200 articles published with Trend Hunter on nearly every topic under the sun, but my passions lie in cars, the hospitality industry, and food and beverage.

Prior to joining the team at Trend Hunter, I was a freelance writer and contributor to a dozen lifestyle print publications, blogs and online magazines. Between 2004 and 2007, I pursued a personal passion in the restaurant business when I helped open and manage the Continental in Atlantic City in 2006. I worked for SRO as an hourly employee during my undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, and my experience there kick-started my career and first sparked my love for the food, beverage and hospitality world.

Throughout every professional and personal endeavor in my short career, I've remained committed to my relentless pursuit of innovation and living every aspect of the good life.
