Brian Kenny

Internal Communications Expert + Presentation Guru

I’ve been a professional designer, art director and copywriter for nearly 25 years—but it was my accidental pivot to internal stakeholder communications and presentation development over a decade ago where my skills really started to coalesce into a laser-focused craft. A bit of quick napkin math and I’d estimate I’ve made something like 10,000 slides to date.

My biggest learning in that time? It’s not about the slides. It’s about you.

More specifically, it’s about your story, the way you most authentically share that story and the people you’re sharing it with. In support of that effort, I’ll start with active listening and engaged curiosity as we talk through how to best share your ideas. From there, I’ll design and deliver a polished draft you can use as a base for socialization, iterating as needed to support your discussions. Once we find the sweet spot where the visual expression flows harmoniously with the message, I’ll give it one last coat of design and narrative magic—helping you show up at your best for your biggest moments.
