Jarod O’Brian | Brand Strategist

Stand on business, or fall on excuses.

Nice to meet you! I am Jarod O’Brian – a brand strategist who puts plays together. Memphis, TN, is my hometown and birthplace. However, Atlanta, GA, has raised me from 17 to recent adulthood. My passions include music, entertainment, creative arts, and all things that impact urban culture.

Over a decade ago, I studied Mass Communications at Clark Atlanta University, but my journey did not end where it started. Unfavorably, I ran out of funds during my senior year and transferred to Georgia State University to complete my B.A. in Journalism. Years later, in 2017, I created a blog site that evolved into a lifestyle brand – Intellect Connect. The brand garnered city-wide attention, which allowed me to get published in two digital publications (Shoutout Atlanta and Bold Journey). Currently, I am set to complete my M.A. in Public Relations from Full Sail University in the summer of 2025.

My body of work covers topics such as pop culture, new product releases, upcoming events, and more. I provide new perspectives and innovative insights on how to move culture forward. The vision is to help magnify brands and assist them in forming lasting connections with their target audiences.

It does not matter if you are an artist, influencer, non-profit organization, or just a person who enjoys the entertainment life – my website is a one-stop shop. I aim to be the best publicist for collaborative partners. So, if you want to elevate your brand, book a consultation today! I cannot wait to help your vision come to life!
