Hi, I’m Robert Engel, a creative media and communications professional who turns stories into measurable impact.

I combine photography, video, social media, graphic design, web content, event marketing, and live production to help organizations connect with their audiences. My nonprofit work has contributed to 160,837 Facebook views, $13,689 in campaign revenue, and stronger community participation across digital and in-person campaigns.

About Me

Creative storytelling backed by strategy, technical skill, and measurable results.

I earned a B.S. in Communications & New Media with a concentration in Digital Filmmaking from Shepherd University. Today, my work spans nonprofit development and communications, live broadcast audio, photography, video, graphic design, and web content.

At The National Humane Education Society, I support fundraising campaigns, community partnerships, event promotion, donor communications, CRM reporting, social media, and website updates. Whether I’m capturing a cinematic portrait, editing short-form video, designing a campaign graphic, updating a website, or monitoring a live broadcast, I bring curiosity, care, and a results-focused mindset to the work.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at the gym, visiting a local coffee shop, exploring the region with my Puggle, Doug, or developing a film and storytelling project. I’m open to opportunities in digital media, communications, social strategy, content creation, design, and web content.

Let's connect and tell great stories together.
