Founded in 2017, Story Hi Social was born out of Brooke's passion for taking photos to tell visual stories on the squares of Instagram posts. Her drive was to collaborate with local brands to leverage authentic brand storytelling, while creating memorable online customer experiences.
With over a decade of experience in traditional & digital B2C marketing, Brooke pairs her background with an innate creative spark. This unique blend allows her to envision and capture the full story.
​
Brooke dons multiple hats— a Social Media Consultant, Creative Director and a meticulous Photographer--to name a few. She takes pride in helping her clients navigate through every channel in the crowded digital landscape. Brooke's work does more than just catch the eye—it resonates, engages, and makes a lasting impact. Every frame, every click, and every strategy Brooke crafts is imbued with intention and character.
​
Brooke is a published writer and photographer, and has developed award winning social media accounts.

When not in the office or on set, Brooke loves spending her time creating pieces on the pottery wheel, chasing her 3 kids around, or reading a book on the beach.
