The word “entrepreneur” often brings a stereotypical image to the forefront of our imaginations. Most people think of someone in a suit, perhaps in a corner office, barking orders at subordinates. However, Bryanne DeGoede is proof that this definition is far from reality.
A self-proclaimed “entrepreneur at heart,” Bryanne has made a career out of helping others build their businesses—while simultaneously taking her own firm to the top of the PR world. After working in media for several years, Bryanne decided to go out on her own to launch BLND PR in 2014. The agency has since become one of the most successful lifestyle and hospitality PR firms in the country. Bryanne takes great pride in watching her clients’ businesses grow and flourish, and she attributes much of her success to her ability to think outside the box. At just 35 years old, Bryanne is already making a big impact in the world of business—and she shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
In today’s social media-driven world, influencer relations have become an increasingly important part of any business. Brands look to influencers to connect with consumers on a deeper level and provide an authentic voice that can increase sales. BLND PR has uniquely positioned itself to work with both brands and influencers, connecting talent with the right companies to create mutually beneficial relationships.
When working for major brands like Forever 21, BLND PR assists with influencer outreach, targeting key platforms and establishing relationships. When representing influencers, BLND connects individuals with brands that can use their voice to amplify sales. By working on both sides of the industry, BLND PR creates lasting connections that benefit all parties involved.
“As a successful businesswoman, I’m often asked who my biggest inspirations are. And while I could list a multitude of powerful women in history or pop culture, the truth is that my inspirations are much closer to home. My mom and my aunt are the women who have taught me to become the person and professional that I am today. They’re the ones who have seen me at my best and worst. They continue to support me through it all. To those incredible women in my life—thank you for being my inspiration!”
After almost 10 years in business, it’s a dream for Bryanne to return to Hermosa Beach and move BLND PR into its latest office space—a fully gutted and remodeled 1,500 sq/ft unit. After starting out in a small 250 sq/ft space in Hermosa Beach back in 2014, the firm now returns to its roots in a space that better suits its creative needs.
Bryanne plans on hosting influencer events soon in their downtown Hermosa Beach location, just one block from the sand. “It’s been a wild ride,” Bryanne says of her journey “and I’m excited to see what the next 10 years brings.” Judging by the success of her past events and partnerships, we’re sure that whatever Bryanne has in store will be nothing short of spectacular.
In her free time, Bryanne loves to spend time with her husband and 2-year-old son. After working on the editorial side of media, she is happy to have taken that leap of faith back in 2014 to start her own firm. And it’s been the best decision she’s ever made. She loves being her own boss, and she loves the challenges and rewards that come with owning her own business.
