BIPR Feature – An Agency Story

An Agency Story Podcast – Episode 32 – Triumph

This week on An Agency Story podcast, we have Brandi Sims, MBA, CEO and Founder of Brandinc PR – a full-service boutique public relations agency based out of Austin, Texas that specializes in public relations, media outreach, publicity campaigns, events, and general marketing specifically related to social media and online engagement.

Brandi has accumulated over 14 years of experience in the realm of marketing. Initially focused on collaborating with nonprofit organizations, she ventured into the finance sector before gradually transitioning into the captivating realms of entertainment and lifestyle. In an unexpected turn of events, Brandi unintentionally founded Brandinc PR amidst the challenging circumstances of the pandemic in 2020.

Over the past three years alone, Brandi and her agency have successfully catered to a diverse range of clients, spanning beyond the nonprofit space, and venturing into the exciting waters of entertainment. Their portfolio includes public figures and individual brands, showcasing their versatility and wide-ranging expertise. Brandi and the agency have had the privilege of working with some renowned clients such as Dolly Parton, former Seattle Seahawks player Kam Chancellor, and many more.

On this week’s episode, Brandi discusses an array of compelling subjects. She reflects on the impact of MTV on her professional journey, explores the complexities of imposter syndrome, and emphasizes the importance of stepping aside from our own limitations.

She also shares valuable insights into how her experience with the military has shaped her work ethic and transformed her perspective on life.

Enjoy the story.
