Brittany Smith is the senior director of community engagement at Fred Rogers Productions, where she has worked for more than 30 years devoted to the organization’s mission. She began her media career as an NBC page in New York City and joined Fred Rogers Productions—then known as Family Communications Inc.—during the final production seasons of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

As the company expanded its media portfolio, Brittany’s role grew to include developing engagement resources for children, families, and local PBS stations. She assisted the team that built the engagement structure for the launch of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and collaborated with internal teams on the production and launch of Peg + Cat and Odd Squad. Later, she led the development of engagement materials for the series launches of Donkey Hodie and Alma’s Way, as well as the Many Ways to Show You Care collection.

Brittany continues to direct design and development efforts for engagement resources across the company’s full portfolio. She leads nationwide community outreach initiatives, including Be My Neighbor Day, Explore Your City events, and the Donkey Hodie Activity series. Additionally, she advises colleagues at PBS stations across the country, oversees costume character development, and manages relationships with community organizations that support children, families, and educators.

Outside of work, Brittany gardens, bakes, volunteers and spends time with her family. She holds a bachelor’s degree in communications with a concentration in early childhood development from Temple University.
