Anna Brekken

Founder & Social Media Manager

About

Hi, I'm Anna! ✨ I'm always exploring the intersection of business and creativity — whether that's behind the camera filming a recipe video or crafting social content that truly tells a brand's story.In my role at The Current Agency, I edited organic and paid social content for founders and brands in the CPG space, learning what makes a video perform well and go viral on Instagram and TikTok. While working at Be Fearless Inc., I coordinated our semiannual event for young professionals, working with the speakers and creating our schedule and panel topics. At B.T.R. Nation, I was on the influencer side, sending PR boxes to 50 creators for the Costco and Peanut Butter Crunch Protein+ bar launches.From starting an Etsy shop in 5th grade to my experience in social media strategy and brand partnerships, my passion for digital marketing stemmed from watching one too many of "the funny commercials" on TV.🔗 Let’s connect Picnic Studio: thepicnicstudio.coEmail: hello@annamadeblog.com
