As someone who has always been passionate about and intrigued by creativity and innovation, I knew advertising was where I wanted to be. Starting in account management, I learned the ins and outs of the business before I found my true calling in production.
With a facility for both the big picture and the details, being a producer aligned perfectly with my love of putting the puzzle pieces together. In 10 years, I’ve grown into a leadership role and I enjoy sharing my experience with others.
When the production wheels are not spinning, you can find me happily engaged in other things. Passionate about Alzheimer’s disease and fighting for a cure. Family Life is centered around my new 1 year old, Wes. Active in Off The Street Club Community. Peloton’ing, embracing my inner chef—thanks TikTok!, lost in a book or spending time with my husband, family and friends.

Shining Light Award 2019
“This year’s Shining Light winner is Brittany Peskind! Brit has truly shown all of the qualities that this award is about. The ideal team player, she’s always first to raise her hand, offering up additional help even though her schedule is totally full. Brittany is a cheerleader among us. She is a huge driver of the culture here at Energy BBDO and has been a fixture in the Energy family for 8 years!
Brittany is indispensable—she is a game changer. We’ve all come to rely on her and trust her and ask for her on our projects again and again. It’s not just that Brittany is good at her job, it’s also her positive attitude, her candor, her sense of self and lack of ego, her energy, and her ability to make things happen against all odds. Good or bad, fun or painful, rain or shine, I want Brittany by my side.
One colleague told us: ‘Brittany embodies the characteristics of the of the girls that I adored most. She has Amy’s infectious smile, Ashley’s calm manner in stressful situations, and, my favorite of all, Lindsey’s sass. She was the first person to welcome me to BBDO with her smile, laugh, and inclusive nature. She is the reason I felt then and still feel like BBDO is home. She is amazing and she needs to win. That is all.’
Brit is a force to be reckoned with. She straight up MAKES SHIT HAPPEN. She has one of the coolest heads I’ve ever seen. She could be working down to the wire to get something out with people leaning over her shoulder making comments as she changes a deck in real time, and she is cool as a cucumber. I’m so proud of how she recognized the parts of her job that made her happy and fueled that into a transition to production where she has been killing it.”
She is a leader within our department who is vital to elevating the team and the work. She instills confidence and positivity and has been a rising star over the years. If I could have five of Brittany, I would be the happiest person. She IS a shining light.”
