BRANDON
KILLMAN
Digital Communications Specialist
I am passionate about community storytelling and highlighting news stories in a visual and engaging way for digitally native audiences. I love to have fun with crafting content, from the production process, shooting and editing and of course the reactions and results once a piece is published.
In my early experience as a digital editor for local publications, I discovered my love for storytelling and making a community come to life through video and editorial. I also gained practical experience in effective SEO best practices, navigating content management systems and using tools like google ads and keywords to help extend audience reach.
I gained more knowledge in content production and audience engagement during my time on social media teams for major news stations, CNN and ABC-7, where I produced social plays daily and curated broadcast news content on its station's digital platforms.
My time at Disneyland Resort as a communications specialist has led me to utilize my skills to foster impactful relationships between a brand and its audience, whether they are an employee or a major fan. By partnering with stakeholders and key business partners, I was able to successfully bring attention to new product and events to the companies population of 50k employees and its online audiences.

Disneyland Resort:
Working on the Communications and Public Affairs team at Disneyland Resort, I had the unique opportunity to make magic for our cast members by highlighting their hard work and the perks they have access to as a Disneyland Cast Member. There was always a story to highlight to help make its employee base feel valued and informed, from the Resort's environmental integration initiatives, cast exclusive opportunities and Halloween Time excitement.

It's a new way of consuming the news without the trolls getting you down. Zivvy is a digital community for people seeking answers on today's important and extraordinary global issues targeting a digitally native Gen Z audience. As a contributor with Zivvy, I aim to build an engaged community audience and report on environmental issues, entertainment and trending news stories.
