About Drew Forrest

Hey there, I\'m Drew. Currently, I\'m the Director of Connections Strategy at nice & frank, where I focus on connecting our client\'s brands and our agency to real people via owned, earned and paid media – any way an idea travels in today’s media landscape. Before nice & frank, I was a Communication Strategy Director at Goodby Silverstein & Partners. I love making things real people see. This informs one of our core beliefs at nice & frank: For a brand to be relevant to a person\'s life we must anchor ideas to real people’s experiences. Simple in theory, hard in practice, but when you succeed that\'s when we\'re really having fun. 🤠

Experience

  1. Director of Connections Strategy

    Nice&frank

    Feb 2024 — Present · Brooklyn, NY, US

    Transitioned from helping scale the company as employee #1 to scaling our Connections Strategy department. Connections Strategy at nice & frank helps connect our client\'s work with the right people and our agency with the industry via owned, earned, shared and paid media. How do we do this? We get *frank* about how real people interact with a brand by digging to find their fan truths. This is what first inspires the nugget of an idea and then where it lives in the world.Interested in doing this? Hit me up. 🤠
