Bryson Hull creates and executes communications strategies that help HBW’s clients hurdle over barriers to business objectives, fend off crises or unfair attacks to reputation, and engage successfully with financial and other specialized audiences. He brings a global geopolitical perspective and an insider’s knowledge of how journalists think, earned during his 17 years of reporting and writing about politics, business and wars on assignment in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America.

Bryson is consulted by senior executives, serving diplomats and government leaders for his counsel and proven ability to swiftly analyze – and extract clarity from – unpredictable, complex or volatile situations. His current and past engagements include Fortune 500 clients in energy, agriculture, finance and manufacturing, and his portfolio includes multiple campaigns, due diligence investigations, media engagement, opposition management, stakeholder identification/analysis and strategic reports to support new country/ market entries.

For most of his journalism career, Bryson worked for Reuters News in Houston, Nairobi and Colombo, where he served as a bureau chief and country manager. His reporting put him in frequent contact with heads of state, CEOs, and sensitive cultural environments, and took him to places like Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, where he learned how to thrive under extreme pressure. Bryson has also worked for the Associated Press and Bloomberg, and got his start as a police reporter in newspapers in Texas and his native Connecticut. A father of two, he holds a Bachelor of Science from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and speaks Spanish and Swahili.
