Kent Bridgeman - Senior Level B2B Copywriter

B2B has a reputation for being bland. Kent Bridgeman has spent 15+ years proving otherwise.

As a Senior Copywriter and Editor at Blue Star Design, Kent specializes in transforming complex, technical, and niche subject matter into clear, compelling marketing content that drives real results. From technology and healthcare to manufacturing, cannabis, and nonprofit, he brings both strategic thinking and editorial craft to every project, whether it's a high-converting landing page, a thought leadership piece, or a full content marketing program.

Kent's work doesn't just read well, it performs. He's earned multiple MarCom Platinum and Gold Awards, helped clients build scalable content libraries, and contributed to measurable growth like a 4× increase in website traffic for a brand repositioning effort. His approach blends audience empathy, data-driven storytelling, and a sharp eye for brand voice.

Based in the Greater Chicago Area, Kent also writes with an eye toward the future, optimizing content for both traditional search and AI-driven discovery in an ever-shifting digital landscape.

When he's not wrestling a deadline, you'll find him deep in a brick-sized fantasy novel, experimenting with a new NYT recipe, or rewatching National Treasure with his wife.

Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Tape

When a tape fails, it is not just an inconvenience to an end user; it can also damage the relationship between the customer and the distributor. But more often than not, it’s not so much that the tape has failed. Often, the tape has been applied to a situation it was not engineered to handle.


Understanding which tape is ideal for each application can help you advise clients and keep them from purchasing the wrong tape for a particular purpose. Part of that knowledge involves understanding the...

Marketing Through Mergers and Acquisitions - Blue Star

There’s a moment after an acquisition closes when the expectation is deceptively simple: start marketing.


The problem? The foundation isn’t there yet. No finalized brand architecture. No aligned messaging. No org chart that anyone fully agrees on. But the business is moving, and marketing has to move with it.


This scenario is more common than most companies admit. McKinsey research on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) integration found that marketing was meaningfully involved before close in...

Navigating the 2026 Intoxicating Hemp Ban

The 2018 Farm Bill effectively launched a new golden age of hemp products. Since the bill took effect, hemp has grown into a nearly $30 billion industry. But in November of 2025, Congress passed a law that ended the longest government shutdown in history. However, in that bill is a provision that greatly impacts the hemp industry and threatens more than 300,000 jobs nationwide.


The new provision sought to close the intoxicating hemp “loophole” that many businesses have used to explore and pro...

The Creative Hive Mind: Intelligence built across time and teams - Blue Star

There’s a buzz happening in boardrooms and budget meetings right now, and it goes something like this: “We have AI now. How much of our marketing team do we really need?”
It’s a fair question on the surface. AI tools are genuinely impressive. They produce content quickly, they don’t take vacations, and they don’t ask for raises. But the conversation almost always focuses on what AI produces, the outputs, and rarely on where great ideas come from.
Because output is visible, the origin is not.
And...

The Hype Cycle and the Quiet Cost of Chasing Buzzwords - Blue Star

In enterprise technology, there’s a rhythm to how language evolves.
A new term surfaces at conferences. Analysts begin using it, earnings calls repeat it, and suddenly, every IT solution provider is “AI-native, composable, autonomous, and agentic.” The internal pressure mounts quickly as executive teams want to talk about innovation, boards demand alignment with the future, and sales need messaging that feels current and competitive.
This phenomenon is so common that Gartner built a practice aro...

GEO vs SEO: How to Show Up in AI Searches - Blue Star

When Google rolled out AI Overview and, most recently, AI Mode, the familiar naysayers showed up. This time, SEO is really done for, they cried, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth (we’re a dramatic bunch, marketers). So, is it true? Is SEO kaput for real this time? Will content marketing be caught in the crossfire?


In a word, no.


But generative search overviews have dramatically shifted search behavior. Click-throughs and organic traffic are down across the board, with an ave...

Building a Better Workplace: The Significance of Human-Centered AI  - Pomeroy

According to a recent survey, 52% of employees feel “worried” about AI’s impact on the workplace. Though various estimates place enterprise adoption of generative AI tools at upwards of 90%, PWC found that only 11% of surveyed organizations had achieved complete and responsible AI implementation.  

These statistics demonstrate that employees are nervous about AI in the digital workplace. Nobody wants to get replaced. This worry can be addressed by correctly implementing AI. In fact, with the ri...

The Value of Using Customer Experience Metrics to Measure Client Satisfaction - Pomeroy

Determining the best measurement of company growth is an essential task. While indicators like revenue, gross profit, and EBITDA are reliable, they only provide a partial picture. Today, customer longevity is more critical than ever for long-term growth and success.  


Customer retention is a significant undertaking for businesses of all sizes. According to HubSpot research, acquiring new customers costs five times more than retaining them. Additionally, 74% of customers report customer loyalt...

Cybersecurity Tactics for Law Firms

For law firms, cybersecurity is just one item on a long to-do list, but it is not an issue that can be ignored.

According to a recent American Bar Association (ABA) report, 29% of law firms experienced a data breach in 2023. Because they handle sensitive client information, law firms are a ripe target for threat actors, and cyber threats are only growing. Hackers now utilize automation and AI to create more convincing phishing and deepfake attacks.

Sticking your head in the sand is not an opti...

Planning for Zero Trust

Zero Trust is a term that gets a lot of buzz in the cybersecurity world. But what exactly is Zero Trust? To understand Zero Trust, first imagine airport security. To make it through the checkpoint, passengers must be scanned and present their identification and boarding pass. But once through, these passengers have free reign of the airport. This analogy represents the traditional model of cybersecurity, the so-called perimeter defense.

ITAD's Role in Sustainability, Profitability, and ESG Initiatives  - Pomeroy

A recent NielsenIQ study found that 78% of consumers value a sustainable lifestyle. Organizations have responded in turn, with Morningstar estimating that 90% are implementing some form of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. More than ever, ESG ratings and reputation are solid evidence in a market flush with greenwashing and exaggeration. ESG stands out as a way to build loyalty among environmentally conscious consumers.  

But can solid ESG practices actually make an organi...

Innovation Is the Key to Success in the Retail Industry - Pomeroy

Smart and Sustainable Buildings: IoT, AI, and 5G Networking - Pomeroy

Location-based marketing technology in retail: A primer | CBTS

As the retail industry continues recovering from the pandemic at a much more modest growth rate than in previous years, retail leaders are seeking new ways to prioritize customer experience. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), 80% of shopping still happens in stores. But customers also demand omnichannel service and personalization to a degree not seen in previous generations. To meet these demands, retail leaders are turning to location-based marketing technology.

“Kent has helped me to increase the traffic to my website to 4 times what I was getting. He has helped me to clarify my brand and to figure out not only what types of clients that want to reach out to, but how to reach out to them. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.”

“Since we launched the site that Kent wrote and mapped out for our troupe, I've heard nothing but positive comments about how easy and fun it is to use. Those were the first specs we asked for at our first meeting and exactly what he delivered.”

- Nathan Oelker, The Rust Belt

Really really love this piece and the approach you took. Worked out perfectly and I think it will be a great conversation starter. Thank you so much!... Thank you all again - so pleased with this piece!"

Laura Mandhardt, Product Manager, CBTS

Kent’s strength was far and away his speed and responsiveness. He was able to quickly turn around emails on short notice to support the customer marketing side of the business, and he was quick to provide drafts or outlines of assigned deliverables on the brand marketing side of things. He was also pleasant to work with and respectful of others’ opinions and ideas. He didn’t complain or make excuses for anything either, making him a great team player.

He takes feedback well and he is always ready to brainstorm or delve deeper into research as needed. He would make a valuable addition to any creative team."

- Katie Byrd, Marketing Director, Leaf Trade

I have found Kent to be highly organized, focused, and self-monitoring; an individual who pays attention to details, uncomplaining, and committed to getting things done. I find it a pleasure to work with Kent knowing that I can count on him completing and delivering a project using words that best expresses our mission. Kent makes an enormous contribution to our efforts in the delivery of our message to the world."
