BLAZENDESIGN / THE WORK BEHIND THE RESUME

Good communication
is more than good copy.

It connects teams, earns trust, and turns complicated ideas into stories people actually remember.

I'm Brandon Powell, a communications, digital strategy and creative production leader who guides teams from planning through delivery. Here are a few examples of the work, people and projects I've helped bring together.

BEYOND THE CAMPAIGN

Build the work.
Build the team.

Some of the work I'm proudest of is less about the finished creative and more about helping people grow. I've managed teams, supported production partners, and mentored early-career colleagues.

One Benchmark intern I mentored went on to an engineering career. That story captures the kind of collaboration and trust I try to build wherever I work.

HOW I WORK

Strategy up front.
Sleeves rolled up.

I enjoy translating between the executive conversation, the creative team and the person doing the actual work.

01

Listen first

Understand the audience, the challenge and what the team needs to accomplish.

02

Make it clear

Turn complex subject matter into practical briefs, content plans and approachable stories.

03

Get it done

Coordinate people, platforms, production details and follow-through. Then learn from the results.

This is a personal selection of work completed in collaboration with employers, colleagues and partners. Employer names and marks belong to their respective owners. Public websites may have changed since my involvement; the descriptions above refer to the work performed at that time. Linked media may require Facebook access.

LET'S CONNECT

Have a team to align
or a story to tell?

I'm open to conversations about communications leadership, content strategy, team development and creative production.
