BRIT PARRY
Buffalo, N.Y. native Brit Parry worked her way up from bartender to freelance event planner to her current job as the New York City marketing manager for the Pabst Brewing Company-and she´s only 30! After moving to NYC one week after her 21st birthday, it just made sense to her to work in the nightlife scene. She tended bar at Snapshot at the Delancey and at the Dalloway, and co-founded the mixed-queer Wolf Party at Le Souk. A self-described “creative, outgoing people person,” Parry then worked for Crispin Hard Cider before landing at Pabst, where she´s responsible for all of the local events and sponsorships, handles the local social media outreach and manages 50 key accounts. Arranging partnerships with LGBT clients is her favorite part of the job. “I am out and open to everyone,” Parry says. “In one of the interviews I had for this position, I mentioned being a lesbian and wanting to support the lesbian community. The company was 100 percent on board for being more involved.” And, Parry is super-excited to be a sponsor of GO´s Pride float this year: “I really want people to see that PBR as a company is extremely diverse and caters to all lifestyles.” -KL
