Nora Bryant is the Director of Strategic Communications at MI2, where she leads social media, digital newsletters, media relations, and special communications projects. Her career has been shaped by a deep belief that strong communities are built through strong stories, especially the ones rooted close to home. Nora’s love for storytelling began in Kentucky’s tourism industry, where she spent much of her career in marketing and communications roles with Visit LEX, Visit BGKY, and the Kentucky Department of Tourism. With her business partner, she leads State & Tell, a growing PR and communications agency headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky, focused on helping people, places, and organizations tell their stories with clarity, heart, and purpose.

A Henderson, Kentucky native and a Public Relations graduate from WKU, Nora is deeply invested in her community. Nora lives in Bowling Green with her husband and two daughters. At the heart of her work—both professionally and personally—is a commitment to championing authentic Kentucky voices and sharing stories that strengthen communities and connect the Commonwealth to the world.
