I’m Grace Perry, a marketer with a background in theater, teaching, and creative strategy. I started my career helping people build confidence and tell their stories on stage. Now I help brands do the same through thoughtful, audience-focused marketing.

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I earned my B.A. in Musical Theater Performance and Business Entertainment from American University. I’m currently finishing my M.S. in Marketing at AU’s Kogod School of Business in Washington, D.C., where I’ve focused on brand development, campaign strategy, and consumer research.

My time in theater taught me how to read a room, adapt quickly, and connect with people in meaningful ways. I bring that mindset into my marketing work every day. I’ve led full-scale campaigns, managed school-wide marketing on my own, and created strategies rooted in both creativity and data. Whether I’m writing copy, building out a brand experience, or pitching ideas, I care about helping people feel something real.

I’m especially drawn to brand and experiential marketing, and I love working on projects that are bold, smart, and grounded in human connection. I also bring my background as a teacher into every team I work with—keeping things clear, collaborative, and focused on the bigger picture.

Right now, I’m building my portfolio, creating content that blends performance with marketing, and looking for opportunities to work on projects that matter.
