Bretta Nelson Email & Phone Number

I am a dedicated and multidisciplined communications professional with 14 years of integrated strategy and planning experience in public relations (PR), content development, and internal/external stakeholder engagement. An innovative and detail-oriented project manager with a proven track record as an on-air spokesperson, I specialize in leveraging my multimedia storytelling acumen to craft compelling communication and media campaigns that engage stakeholder audiences and boost brand awareness.Prior to joining The Nature Conservancy in Arizona, I was the Senior Manager of Public Relations for the Arizona Humane Society where my team and I earned six consecutive years of honors for excellence in PR from the Public Relations Society of America, including three Copper Anvils, three Awards of Merit and the coveted Judges Award. As the former lead PR and media strategist for a nonprofit organization with a $26 million operating budget, I managed a six-person team and coordinated media operations with 15 diverse departments.I also supported a $54 million capital campaign and directed strategic PR planning for multiple ultra-high-net-worth foundations while also overseeing PR/media projects with 15 in-kind media partners, earning annual in-kind/earned media values of more than $1 million. The highlight of those efforts included securing international exposure through a 12-episode run as a featured organization on the Animal Planet TV series Animal Cops, coordinating daily with the film crew to ensure a flawless production.
