Get to know our Marketing girl, McKenna!
It’s time for you to get acquainted with the person capturing the magic moments that are made here at Wardrobe Therapy.
We are so excited for you to learn more about one of the new additions to our team: Our Marketing Manager, McKenna Brooks!
Equal parts storyteller and style enthusiast, McKenna is the force behind many of the visual narratives you see across our social media pages.
Step behind-the-scenes with us as we get to know about what makes her the matcha-sipping, pet-loving lady she is.
Plus, enjoy some snaps of her life in front of the camera instead of behind it for a change!
Her Story: From Start to Our Styling Firm
Driven by an enthusiasm for curating creativity into creations, McKenna first started editing and writing content when she was only nine years old with her flip camcorder, Mattel password journal, and whatever online graphic design tools she could find. She took that long-standing passion and turned it into her profession.
After moving around throughout the south and mid-west, McKenna returned to her home state to attend college at the University of Cincinnati, where she studied Communication, PR, and English and was awarded the school’s Jean Chimsky Prize in 2020.
McKenna has spent the past 7+ years building her career in digital media marketing, including prior roles in social media management for various retailers and marketing management in the non-profit sector. Since moving up to Columbus to join Wardrobe Therapy, she’s shared that she loves getting to combine her drive for creative communications and visual storytelling with our audience of fashion lovers.
When she’s not running around recording our stylists and fabulous clients, you can find McKenna dividing her time between her diva pom-chi, Eevie, her chaotic tabby, Auggie, and sampling matcha lattes as she writes at local coffee shops.
