Congratulations to our November Brand Champion, Braydn Walker with Digital Vow Videography!

For the past three years, Braydn has taken outstanding photos of the homes on the Christmas Tour of Homes. We use his photos to market the event and create memory books for each of the homeowners.

Last year, Braydn took photos of Buena Vista: A Stroll in the Park, which we use to promote this event regionally and locally. The photos were additionally used to create a thank-you gift to our generous donors- local families, individuals, and businesses.

Recently, Braydn collaborated with the Chamber team on a fall photo shoot, capturing fabulous photos for us to use in marketing and promotional materials as well as on the website to promote all that Hudson has to offer.

Additionally, Braydn created a video highlighting the Hudson Community Expo that will be used to promote the event for 2025.

Thank you, Braydn, for all you do! We look forward to your continued partnership.

Wondering about the qualities of a Brand Champion? They include:
• Passionate and Supportive
• Knowledgeable and Communicative
• Invested in Success
• Interested in Building Loyalty

If you know of a great Chamber Brand Champion, let us know so we can recognize them and award them $25 in Chamber Checks.
