Britt Hysen is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of MiLLENNiAL, a news and lifestyle media brand bringing attention to global millennial leaders. From celebrities involved in causes to CEOs disrupting industries, Britt produces content that speaks to the social impact of the generation. Within four months of its debut, The White House named MiLLENNiAL one of the Top 100 Most Influential Digital Media Site for Millennials.

Having begun her career in 2007 as an actress on AMC’s Mad Men, Britt foresaw the transition of news and entertainment to the Internet and pivoted into the world of web journalism in 2010 to share the stories of those making a difference. Within a year, journalism peers began calling her The Voice of Gen Y and referring to her as the leading authority on millennial change makers.

By 2013, Britt had conducted over 300 interviews with top millennial influencers, produced five web series, built an international blogging community, helped assemble CNBC’s first “disruptor” list, and earned a B.S. in Business Marketing & Management from Penn State University.

In June of 2014, Britt launched MiLLENNiAL, a digital magazine dedicated to highlighting the heroes of the generation while creating authentic relationships between brands and their elusive consumers. Since then, Britt has established working relationships with Discovery Channel, Capitol Records, ABC Family, and Belkin among other Fortune 500 companies.

In addition to running her publication, Britt is a passionate humanitarian, blogger for The Huffington Post’s Impact vertical, and active show developer for Brian Graden Productions.
