Marketing and Operations Manager
Michael Brazda

I love good branding.
It pulls you in and forges an instant connection. This is not a rational experience because its true power lives on the unconscious level. To wield this power, a brand must get inside the minds of its audience, learn their values, their desires, their language, and be willing to genuinely help them meet their goals.
I have worked with technology companies to help them:
-Understand their audience
-Create persuasive and magnetic brand positioning
-Develop communication strategies and content that empowers their audiences
A good brand shines.
Michael holds Bachelors of Science Degrees in Mechanical Engineering and FIlms and Television Writing from Boston University.
