Cristy Brusoe, Founder
Hello! My name is Cristy Brusoe and I've become known as the PR Ninja. In more technical terms, I'm a Media Relations Specialist and Storyteller with over a decade of experience in the world of Public Relations. I hold a Bachelors in Journalism from UW-River Falls and a Masters in Leadership Education from Winona State.
I got my start in public relations right out of college. Not knowing exactly what I wanted to do career-wise, I landed an internship at a small start-up PR company in Stillwater, MN. Shortly after, I became the Media Relations Manager and led 6-8 client accounts for several years. My entrepreneurial spirit caught up with me during my Masters program, and I branched off on my own. Thus, in 2016, The BCPR Group was formed.
I grew up in Minnesota and still claim myself as “Minnesotan,” but have called Tampa, Florida my home for the past several years. My passions outside of work include animal fostering and rescue, being an avid sports fan, tackling home DIY projects, and teaching as an Adjunct Professor at SNHU.
