About Hunter Shannon

I’m a recent graduate from Miami University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Media and Communications, eager to build a career in the media industry. My coursework, including Media Law, Media Industries and Economics, and Media Cultures, gave me a strong understanding of the media landscape, ethical practices, and the business forces shaping the industry. Complementing this, I gained technical skills through business-focused courses in Python, SQL, Microsoft Excel, and other Microsoft Suite applications.Originally from Chicago, I’ve developed a diverse set of experiences through roles in public relations, marketing, and media partnerships. At Bent Pixels, I worked alongside the VP of Brand Partnerships to expand Midwest operations, securing meetings with major brands, curating custom channel lists for campaigns, ensuring brand safety, and collaborating with teams in LA and NY on strategies for performance optimization and growth. I also leveraged tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, SellerCrowd, and Crunchbase to uncover high-value leads and market insights.Previously, I gained hands-on PR and marketing experience at Heron Agency, where I successfully secured Shake Shack as a sponsor for a local Chicago fundraiser. At Broadway In Chicago, I helped coordinate the annual Summer Concert, supporting high-profile guests and ensuring seamless event operations. These experiences have sharpened my skills in campaign development, client relations, media coordination, and strategic outreach.I’m passionate about bringing creativity, strategic thinking, and relationship-building to industries such as advertising, communications, public relations, and marketing, and am excited to contribute to impactful campaigns that connect brands with their audiences.
