She is responsible for setting the strategy to deliver best-in-class tactics that drive audience engagement across NASA’s digital ecosystem, including television programming, video production, photography, email, web, podcasts, social media, and mobile platforms. In this role, Brittany has directed, managed, and contributed to projects that have earned Emmy, Telly, Webby, and Davey awards.
