About Anna Van Brocklin

Hi, I'm Anna! I'm a photographer, music industry professional and creative! I have experience in photography, music, sports, marketing, advertising, VIP relations, assisting, childcare, touring, radio, writing, editing, broadcasting and entertainment media! I'm interested mostly in photography, event operations and touring, however, I love learning new skills and about different areas within the industry and helping out where I'm needed. I started my journey of working the entertainment industry as a music and sports fan, and that's where my passion originates! I want to continue to create and improve the music industry for the experience of fans and artists as well as for the positivity and good that music brings to the world. A few goals I have within the music industry are: - Working at or attending the Grammys. - Going on tour either as a photographer, content creator, assistant or rep! - Be a part of the operations team for a major music awards event, concert, tour or festival. - Work on a team for my dream artist(s). - Working at a festival. (And be a part of a festival media team!) While my goals are set high, (and no this list is definitely not near all of what I want to accomplish) I'm ambitious and am dedicated to working towards them, and adapting or changing on the way, depending what direction I take! I want to explore multiple career directions, meaning my path might not be a direct step by step plan. I hope to on one hand to continue to create using my love of photography whether it's with creative portraits or artists, while at the same time working behind the scenes on event coordination and show logistics! I'm super excited for the next points in my career, to experience, learn from and grow in the music industry! I'd love to network or chat with anyone with similar career aspirations or learn more about your goals in the industry! I look forward to meeting you and seeing where the industry takes us!

Anna's Experience

Photography & Photo Editing: I have applied my photography and editing skills in many ranging environments from national touring productions to collegiate athletic events. Working in unpredictable lighting conditions including stage beams, fog, and large venues, I’ve captured thousands of shots while executing quick turnarounds. Using tools like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Photo Mechanic, I’ve manage everything from post-event image culling, metadata tagging and color grading to delivering on-brand content under tight deadlines. Content Creation & Creative Direction: In my creative direction and content creation work, I focus on building engaging and thought out stories tailored to pop culture and music-focused audiences. I have pitched, developed, and executed cross-platform digital content, directing the process from pre-shoot planning to final content send offs. My work blends creative strategy with my creative eye to support overall brand identity! PR, Marketing & Advertising: My marketing and PR experience includes agency strategy, digital campaigns and within live events. Collaborating with cross-functional creative teams at Jacht Agency, I contributed to comprehensive branding campaigns by designing digital deliverables and strategic messaging that drove audience engagement. Additionally, supporting VIP event operations for major entertainment promoters like Live Nation, AEG, Coca-Cola and Google, allowed me to represent brands and artists on the ground, manage live guest interactions and be involved with promotional activations for hundreds of attendees per event. Writing & Editorial: Through my editorial and broadcasting background, I’ve developed an strong voice across digital and on-air mediums. As a writer for That Fangirl Life, I pitched and produced artist interviews, concert reviews and feature articles specifically tailored to women-driven and Gen Z audiences. Pairing this with my experience as a live radio host for 90.3 KRNU, I have consistently applied strong storytelling and precision to spotlight upcoming artists and connect with listeners and readers.
