Marketing Communications Specialist based in Eveleth, Minnesota.

 

Intro

Hi, I’m Peyton Barber—a communicator, creative thinker, and passionate storyteller with a love for bold ideas and thoughtful strategy.

I recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Communications, specializing in Advertising, from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University (May 2025). My time at Newhouse sharpened my skills in branding, campaign development, and digital media—while fueling my drive to create work that connects with real people.

Before Syracuse, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Marketing Communication (Summa Cum Laude) from Bemidji State University, where I also minored in Mass Communication. I was honored to be named Marketing Communication Student of the Year and had the incredible privilege of delivering the 2023 commencement speech to my graduating class.

Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, I bring a Midwest work ethic, a creative spirit, and a deep appreciation for good storytelling to everything I do.
