Aubry Bracco
A seasoned small town journalist and digital marketer originally from New Hampshire, Aubry has an eclectic background in storytelling - from small town journalism (she once went undercover with the Salem, Mass. police on Halloween night) to social media marketing for big brands like Visa, the NFL, Liberty Mutual and scrappy start-ups like "Shark Tank's" Cousins Maine Lobster. She's appeared on CBS's longest running reality television show, SURVIVOR three times and will now respectfully decline any offers of coconut or coconut-infused food or drink offered to her. Currently the VP of Social Media and Digital Marketing at Wise Public Relations, Aubry loves finding those stories small moments of humanity that connect people, encourage them to stop, listen and find common ground in the chaos that is the digital jungle. When she’s not crafting social posts or writing, Aubry enjoys taking care of her cavalry of houseplants, studying intuitive healing and astrology, exploring National Parks.
