Passionate, organized, and a natural storyteller, Brynnen Griswold excels at shaping ag clients’ stories and solutions into marketing and PR that resonate with the right audience. Brynnen hails from southwest Michigan and grew up showing livestock and judging meat in 4-H. At Iowa State University (she joins a proud list of alumni on our team), Brynnen fused her love of animal science with her gift for communications. The outcome? Kismet. She’s found a fulfilling career working alongside people she respects that taps into her strengths and passions.

WHAT MOVES YOU?

I may be biased, but the agriculture industry is truly second to none. It has given me family, friends, memories, the best mentors and a career. My connection to ag began with livestock, but it is the people who make the difference. In every corner of this industry, you can find someone who dreams, works hard and knows how to get a job done. It’s so invigorating!

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

• One of my favorite quotes is: “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” –Oscar Wilde
• If I could invent a holiday, it would definitely involve books and coffee (though I already turn every holiday into an occasion to sip coffee and read).
• Things I enjoy doing when I’m not working include traveling, hiking, camping, skiing and fishing. If I’m at home, I enjoy reading and baking new recipes.
• Three items on my bucket list are: Visit every U.S. national park; 2. Visit every continent; 3. Flip a house (again).
• If I didn’t already work at the best company ever, I would probably be a travel writer.
