Bringing strategy, creativity, and leadership to every conversation.

I’m Bri Carlesimo, a PR and communications leader with more than a decade of experience guiding companies, executives, and teams to tell their stories with clarity and purpose.

As Vice President of Client Experience at Pierce PR, I lead strategy and drive client satisfaction for organizations across the country, while mentoring a high-performing team and shaping the agency’s culture. In 2025, I launched Bri Car PR to expand my work with entrepreneurs and creative ventures, including Nashville’s celebrated Otto’s Bar.

My career spans architecture, engineering, construction, automotive, hospitality, and entertainment, but the throughline is strategy and innovative ideas. I specialize in seeing the big picture, aligning PR and communications with organizational goals, and building the trust it takes to make any impact last.

My perspective has been featured in prominent outlets, including the Nashville Business Journal, PR Daily, and Authority Magazine. I’ve also shared my expertise as a speaker for organizations such as the Tennessee Pharmacists Association, Young Leaders Council, and Connico, an aviation and infrastructure consulting firm. 

Beyond my professional work, I’ve been honored as a Nashville Emerging Leader Award winner in Advertising, Marketing & PR in 2025, and named to Alpha Delta Pi’s inaugural 30 Under 30 list in 2017. I continue to invest in my community through leadership programs, nonprofit involvement, and board service. 

At its core, I believe in PR and communications that are clear, human, and transformative, helping businesses not only share their stories but also own them. I lead with empathy, authenticity, and a belief that work should be both meaningful and enjoyable – taking my work seriously, but never myself. This philosophy has shaped the way I build teams, cultivate culture, and approach every project with creativity and accountability.
