Brooklyn Bender

Brooklyn’s career has always revolved around managing people, projects, and communication. Whether it’s social media, marketing, client relations, or keeping a million moving pieces in sync, she’s been making things happen since her very first “big girl” job—as a social media intern for the National Park Service in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. (We happen to agree with Thomas Jefferson—it’s the most beautiful spot in the East.)

Her time with the NPS wasn’t just a foot in the door; it was where she honed her ability to engage audiences, craft compelling content, and develop marketing strategies. She even won the award for Most Original PSA in the National Park Service Centennial campaign. From there, Brooklyn built a career blending creativity, organization, and problem-solving, leading social media campaigns, coordinating marketing projects, and managing teams.

It took a confluence of two major events—the COVID pandemic and the total collapse of Sears—to bring her to Indigo Family Law, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She does a bit of everything here, from running our marketing and client outreach to somehow managing Brana’s ever-complex lawyer/judge schedule. If it involves communication, logistics, or making sure something (or someone) is where they need to be, Brooklyn is at the center of it.

Her background in journalism, photography, and interactive media gives her a unique perspective on storytelling, a skill she puts to use daily in connecting with clients and shaping Indigo’s voice. Whether she’s designing a campaign, refining our messaging, or checking in with past and current clients, Brooklyn makes sure everything we do is as clear, engaging, and effective as possible.

When she’s not in the office, texting with the office, or on the internet for the office, Brooklyn spends her time with her husband, Nick, and their infant daughter, Madeline. And in an unexpected twist for someone so digitally savvy, she loves shopping—not the online kind, but the old-fashioned way, wandering through real stores and engaging with actual people.

How retro.
