FULL BIOGRAPHY (282 words)
Brennen Bliss is the Forbes 30 Under 30 recognized Founder and CEO of Propellic, one of the fastest-growing travel-focused marketing agencies in the United States. Known for blending deep travel industry insight with technical marketing excellence, Brennen helps travel brands win visibility, demand, and revenue across search, AI discovery platforms, and performance channels.

He founded the company in 2014, at 14 years old. It was called PixelCutLabs then, and he built websites and ran SEO for anyone who would give him a shot. What started as a one-teen show grew into a multi-disciplinary, 25-person agency specializing in travel and tourism. In 2021 the agency committed fully to the travel vertical, rebranding to Propellic and becoming a leading partner for hotels, resorts, destination marketing organizations, tour operators, and travel technology companies.

Today Propellic manages tens of millions in annual ad spend, runs large-scale SEO programs for major tourism brands, and is pioneering AI-driven discovery optimization, helping travel companies show up in the answers travelers get from search engines, generative AI platforms, and emerging conversational interfaces.

Brennen speaks regularly at industry events including WTM London, Phocuswright, and Arival, and is the co-author of a forthcoming research report with Phocuswright on AI readiness in travel marketing. His thought leadership sits at the intersection of travel, AI, and consumer behavior, with a focus on how travelers actually make decisions and how brands earn visibility in a world where traditional search is giving way to intelligent assistants.

Based in Austin, Texas, Brennen is widely recognized as an emerging leader in the travel industry. Outside of work he's an obsessive traveler, a luxury-hotel enthusiast, a private pilot, and a reliable advocate for early workouts and a long dinner.
