Erica Brod

Erica Brod is a New Jersey-based writer and editor. As the Director of Marketing & Content for AlphaOmega, she brought contributors’ stories to life by creating and managing all content and social media for the startup company. Among other freelance writing projects, she has served as a Writer’s Assistant for Wild Obscura Films and a Contributing Writer for The Somerville Times, covering events, artists, civic organizations, and the creative economy, routinely featured on the front page.

Before moving to New York City on a whim, Erica worked for five years at Ceres, an advocate for sustainability leadership based in Boston, Massachusetts, where she co-wrote and edited a wide range of items, including reports, white papers, talking points for press interviews, letters to policymakers, media strategies, website copy, blog posts, and more. She moderated and spoke on panels, and helped develop marketing materials for Ceres’ Investor Network on Climate Risk.

Erica was a lead contributing writer and project manager for the first-of-its-kind Ceres report Physical Risks from Climate Change: A Guide for Companies and Investors on Disclosure and Management of Climate Impacts (2012) and she co-authored a case study on Ceres’ Investor Network on Climate Risk published in Environmental Alpha: Institutional Investors and Climate Change (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2009).

She graduated from Brown University with a Master of Public Policy and from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a minor in Psychology.

After living in the heart of Manhattan’s historic Chinatown for a few years, she now lives near the Jersey Shore with her husband Scott and their daughter Skye.
