About

MY BACKGROUND

Hi! I’m Hanna Markham. I am a Sacramento-based Marketing Manager specializing in live entertainment, digital strategy, and creative brand development. I currently oversee marketing for Punch Line Sacramento and Punch Line Sacramento’s Callback Bar, where I lead end-to-end campaigns for more than 570 live comedy events each year.

​

I hold an M.A. in Communication from California State University, Fullerton with an emphasis in Entertainment and Tourism. My graduate work focused on media industries, audience engagement, and inclusive communication practices. For my capstone, I created a full communications audit and best practices guide for a queer nonprofit in San Diego. The experience strengthened my commitment to accessible, community-focused messaging.

​

I also earned my B.A. in Media Studies from California State University San Marcos with a minor in Women and Gender Studies. LGBTQIA+ representation in media has been a core interest throughout my academic and professional journey, and it continues to shape how I approach branding, storytelling, and audience connection.

​

Alongside my full-time role, I run Goodie Digital, where I work with small businesses on branding, website design, content strategy, and social media presence. I enjoy helping clients transform ideas into clear, thoughtful visuals and digital experiences.

​

Whether I am promoting live events or collaborating with clients on creative projects, my work is grounded in strategic communication, problem-solving, and a genuine passion for entertainment and community.
