Brett Rudy grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, and graduated from Northeastern University in Boston in 1995 with a dual BA in Marketing and Management. His professional career spans nearly 30 years in strategic marketing and advertising for global brands. He has overseen national media campaigns for Reynolds Wrap and Florida Orange Juice, launched loyalty programs for Toys"R"Us, the United States Postal Service, and American Express, and built websites for Neiman Marcus, Gillette, and Earthwatch.
In 2007, Brett co-founded Charity Hop, a sports marketing firm that helps athletes raise funds for charity. His work with Charity Wines led to the release and marketing of more than 30 wine brands featuring professional athletes, raising over $1,500,000 for charity and inspiring the book "Buy Me Some Peanuts and Chardonnay."
He attached Richard Dreyfuss to narrate another documentary, "Signs of the Time" in 2008, which explores the cultural impact of hand signals in baseball.
He developed the "100 Innings of Baseball" in 2004, the world's longest baseball game, which raised about $1,000,000 for ALS awareness and research in partnership with Boston Red Sox legend Curt Schilling. This project led to the creation of the documentary film "The 100th Inning."
Even earlier in his career, Brett was instrumental in bringing baseball to film, helping to cast more than 20 baseball players as extras in "Fever Pitch" and assisting with casting for ESPN's "Pete Rose on Trial." He also referred the lead for an episode of MTV's "MADE" that featured a coach helping a troubled teen play baseball.
Brett wrote a monthly column for New England Baseball Journal for over two years and founded Baseball Life, a website dedicated to all things baseball. He plays on several amateur baseball teams and is the Vice President of Marketing & Operations for the Boston Metro Baseball League. He also maintains the websites for Boston's Intercity Baseball League and the Boston Park League. Brett enjoys spending time with his wife, adult son, and dachshund.
