Copywriter  ·  Editor  ·  Communications Strategist

A writer. A strategist.
A storyteller at heart.

My name is Brittany Thomas — copywriter at Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, Master's in Communication from Wayne State University, and a lifelong believer that the right words in the right order can change everything.

I'm a proud alumna of the Irvin D. Reid Honors College, where I learned early that going the extra step isn't extra at all — it's the baseline. I've spent my career coordinating communications operations, writing across every conceivable format, and building work that spans grant proposals to feature articles to PR campaigns.

When I step away from the page, I'm reading, listening to music, scrapbooking, or planning the next trip. Ciao!
