Bramwell graduated with honours in broadcast journalism, has been the editor of four magazines, publisher of a national newspaper, founder and owner of a communications company, has successfully freelanced for years and is a pioneer of multi-platform content production.

Bramwell has been to 40 countries and plans to visit many more. He writes like the wind – fast, powerful and penetrating - takes good pictures, shoots compelling video and glories in audio work. Here is some of what he’s done over the years… much of it while chasing stories for magazines, newspapers, radio and television:

  • Paid eight bribes on an eleven hour car trip in Russia
  • Tripped over a skull in a Haitian cemetery
  • Stuck for three weeks in the most top secret military base in North America where smoking was only allowed inside the buildings
  • Chased cattle rustlers on the Swiss-French border
  • Smuggled into Chechnya when journalists were forbidden
  • Trapped in a canoe with an effete photographer while being chased by a bull moose
  • Watched 24 people get death sentences from The Salvation Army in rural Zambia
  • Scraped mold from his toothbrush in Nicaragua
  • Bypassed government internet control in Tunisia to get email
  • Underwear stolen in Trieste
  • Danced at a gypsy celebration of a corrupt judge in Turkey
  • Proved an $11,000 camera can bounce on a Mozambique runway
  • Rode the morning garbage truck for street people in Toronto
  • In the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan, explained to a 10-year-old the merits of having two wives
  • Helped wrestle a caribou into a rubber boat in northern Quebec

Bramwell is a generalist and has a deep, broad knowledge of international affairs. He knows how to get stories even in lousy situations.
