About Brenda Christensen and Stellar Public Relations

 

Brenda Christensen is CEO of Stellar Public Relations, a world leader in public relations, investor relations, branding, funding, and corporate guidance with direct attributable growth worth over millions of dollars. Ms. Christensen, an Inc. 500 executive, currently serves as an adviser on private boards in North America, and previously served as corporate officer for a publicly held technology company, across multiple continents.

A leading corporate communications and public relations expert, board member and corporate officer of top global technology companies, Brenda has provided strategic corporate guidance and governance, as well as successfully created and managed global messaging campaigns for such prestigious companies as Tinder, Apple, McAfee, NEC, Dominos Pizza, GM and others.

I launched Stellar Public Relations with a vision to bridge the gap between groundbreaking technology companies and the media. Growing up in Detroit instilled in me the resilience and determination needed to navigate the challenges of starting and scaling a business from the ground up. My journey, influenced by early lessons on the value of hard work and the importance of making a positive impact, propelled me into the world of public relations with the aim to improve industry standards and contribute to meaningful societal change.

Overcoming challenges has been a constant theme throughout my career. From handling unexpected logistical changes at major events to confronting gender biases and advocating for diversity and inclusion within the workplace, each obstacle served as a learning opportunity. A notable moment was navigating a partnership issue that threatened the company’s integrity. Taking decisive action to address the problem head-on reinforced the importance of trust and accountability in business.

Looking ahead to this year, my plans are centered on continuing to support socially responsible and innovative technology companies. The focus is on promoting neurodiversity in the tech industry, recognising the potential of inclusive technologies to create equitable opportunities for all. Achieving this involves a commitment to only partnering with companies that share our vision for a more inclusive and sustainable future. This goal, while ambitious, aligns with my lifelong mission to leverage my work for the greater good. It’s a testament to the belief that success is not just measured by financial milestones but by the positive impact we can have on society.

In retrospect, mentorship has played a crucial role in my journey. The advice and support from mentors have been invaluable in navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship. For others embarking on similar paths, I’d emphasise the importance of persistence, the willingness to challenge the status quo, and the need to stay true to your values. Embracing these principles has not only guided my journey to creating a million-dollar business but has also allowed me to contribute to meaningful change within my industry and beyond.
