Our Roots: Why Storytelling Matters
Cleveland Heights, Ohio is home.
For founder Alicia Pattillo, everything started on Brinkmore Road, in the childhood home where she grew up and where her biggest dreams first felt possible. That house isn’t just a location on a map; it’s the foundation of her own creative journey and the literal namesake of Brinkmore Communications. It stands as a daily reminder that every powerful narrative comes from a real, grounded place.
That baseline is exactly why we do what we do. At Brinkmore, our passion lies in digging deep into the hearts of brands, non-profit organizations, and entrepreneurs who have a powerful story driving their business. We believe that behind every timeline, budget, and launch is a human journey of grit and purpose and just like that house on Brinkmore Road, we are here to give those stories a foundational voice.
HEART.
They say home is where the heart is, but for us, heart is the energy we bring to every project. This video is a glimpse into where it all began on Brinkmore Road, the foundation of our creative drive and the community that shaped our perspective.
At Brinkmore Communications, we believe that true impact happens when we elevate the voices that build up our communities. Whether you are a non-profit driving change, an entrepreneur launching a dream, or a brand looking to make a genuine impact, your story deserves to be heard. We combine deep creative expertise with a passion for human stories. Here, your vision meets the perfect opportunity to be told. Whatever narrative you are building, we are here to help you take that first step with absolute confidence.

Alicia Pattillo is an Emmy-winning journalist, communications strategist, and the founder of Brinkmore Communications—but at her core, she is a storyteller.

IN THEIR WORDS.
“Working with Brinkmore Communications has been such a valuable and affirming experience. Alicia is such a rare gift to her clients and her industry. She has elevated my online presence in so many ways.
One of the most meaningful parts of working with her has been the way she has supported me in sharing my voice with more confidence. As a coach and founder, I have always known the depth of my work, but she has helped me better translate that message into content that feels aligned, clear, and connected to the people I’m here to serve.
She has supported my practice, Hummingbird Soul, in strengthening brand identity, creating more focus in my messaging, building consistency across platforms, and increasing online visibility and engagement. Her guidance has helped me feel more confident not only in what I’m sharing, but in how I’m showing up as the face and voice of my brand.
Beyond her skillset, she is incredibly organized, intelligent, creative, professional, and experienced. She brings both strategy and heart to her work, which is such a rare and powerful combination.
What I appreciate most is her genuine commitment to community. She has a giant heart and a deep passion for being a voice — and helping others share theirs. I’m grateful for the care, creativity, and intention she has poured into supporting my business journey and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, strategic, and purpose-driven social media support.”
