Brooks Hearn

Brooks was destined for a communications career at Chernoff Newman. In the first grade, she was in a TV commercial for our client Piggly Wiggly. Today, instead of starring in our clients’ PR campaigns, she directs them. With 15 years of experience, she’s an expert in public relations planning and strategy, media training and relations, as well as issues and crisis management. Her work has earned her multiple Mercury Award honors from the South Carolina Public Relations Society of America (SCPRSA). She was also named Emerging Leader of the Year by the Greater Summerville/Dorchester Chamber of Commerce and Best & Brightest 35 and Under by Charleston Business Magazine.

Outside the office, she was the 2022 SCPRSA chapter president, served for five years on the University of South Carolina Young Alumni Council and is an active volunteer with numerous local and statewide non-profit organizations.
