Case Study:
Wild American Shrimp

Brynn is a key component to Wild American Shrimp as the lead account executive on the project. She handles all aspects of PR planning, media placement and on-task deliveries. Wild American Shrimp is a passion project for Brynn because she’s also a fantastic cook and self-described foodie. Most weekends at dinnertime you can find her on Twitter and Instagram talking food, ingredients and wine, while she shares some of her own fantastic creations. This makes Brynn a natural talent scout for our world-class Wild American Shrimp Chef Advocate Program and our recipe development outreach program.

Every shrimp has a tail; but our wild-caught, American shrimp have a story that is rich with flavor, history and adventure! It’s also a story of hard-working, shrimp industry families that dates back to when shrimp were harvested on wooden sailing vessels and peeled by hand. It’s the story of American jobs, livelihoods and an industry’s resilience against disasters and tough times. Beyond the history and heritage, it’s the story of an all-natural, healthy food that travels directly from the warm, nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic to your table. It’s the story of new processing technology that suspends freshness until cooked. And best of all, it’s the story of what top chefs around the world agree are the best-tasting shrimp!
