Bryan Johnston, Storyteller, Copywriter, Sales, and Marketer.
Let me
tell you
a story.
For many years, I have been a marketer and storyteller for some of the world's biggest companies. And small ones as well.
It all comes down to one thing: engage your audience. That's the fun stuff.
Turns out being a storyteller is a broad and transferable skill. Whether it's providing a family with a tour of an assisted living community and putting their minds at ease, or convincing an audience that a particular product will help them in ways they never imagined, the end goal is always to create an emotional connection.
So, what do you get with Bryan?
First, the soft skills.
An exceptional empathetic listener. A compassionate, cockeyed optimist who loves interacting with people.
Now, the hard skills.
Video scripts? Articles? Social Posts? Blogs? Event planning?
Check, check, check, check, annnnd check.
I've developed, written, produced, or directed over 2000 videos (not a typo). I worked in affiliate network television (ABC, NBC, CBS), cranking out promotional, marketing, and advertising content at a staggering rate. I then switched to corporate storytelling, producing content for enterprise corporations such as Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, and T-Mobile. I've written across multiple genres and verticals. Serious, funny, you name it. I've planned and executed numerous marketing events to entertain audiences and raise public awareness.
I've managed large projects and teams of writers, producers, designers, and editors.
I have been on-camera talent and a public speaker for years, so I'm uniquely qualified for face-to-face interactions. I love engaging with people.
I can edit. Not just copy editing, but video editing. I don't get into the flashy stuff; I leave that to full-time editors, but I'm serviceable with Adobe Premiere.
I'm adept with Canva, Wix, and WordPress, and have a pretty good eye for composition.
Over my career, I've received 11 Emmy awards and a few other shiny doorstops that you probably haven't heard of, but I'm still proud as punch about them. Do people still say proud as punch? Hmmm.
I've written for numerous magazines and websites, and have authored several books. I even wrote a couple of radio dramas.
What all this means is I bring a great deal of digital experience, empathy, and compassion to the table. Experience and qualifications that make a difference in businesses and lives. This is what I live for.
