You have reached the Wendy's Twitter lady

Look, I didn't really want to make this page but I kept running into what I can only describe as viral slop about myself, including one featuring a photo of a completely different woman. So here I am.


This one got my photo right, at least.

Hi. It's nice to meet you. I'm Amy Brown, and from 2012-2017 I ran social media at Wendy's.

Here are some answers to the questions I get asked the most.


What are you up to now?

I worked in social media for awhile. Now I'm a writer.


I heard they fired you over the tweets.

No, but I think we saw the same Reddit comment.


Why did you stop working there?

For the record, that's not the kind of question you ask a stranger.
Anyway, there's no tea. I just went freelance.


How does it feel when people use your face to sell their ebooks or whatever?

I hate it!!!!!!! Thanks for asking.


Did you get the bag? Did Wendy's give you a million dollars?

That's sweet. No, Wendy's did not give me a million dollars.


Did you kill the Duolingo owl?

No, that was a woman named Zaria Parvez.


How did you get the Wendy's job?

I put my Twitter account on my resume and my boss thought I was funny.


Have you heard about Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez?

Yes, I have heard that the protagonist runs social media for a mustard company and was recruited from the Wendy's marketing department. I haven't read it.


Could I hire you to do social media for me?

I no longer provide social media strategy or community management, but I still write social copy. If that sounds like what you're looking for, let's talk.


Why don't you work in social media anymore?

A sensitive creative soul like me should not have to worry about "impressions goals"


I tried to ask you about the Wendy's stuff once and you were weird about it.

Yeah well, it was a weird time in my life.


How's it feel that your life's greatest work is a cheeseburger ad?

My beautiful children are my life's greatest work.


Do you still eat Wendy's?

Not as often as I did when I worked there, but sometimes.


What's your go-to Wendy's order?

Double Stack (no onion) and a small chocolate Frosty.


Did you get a lot of free Wendy's?

Free Wendy's isn't a corporate benefit, but they do let employees taste test new stuff they're developing. That part was pretty cool.


Roast me!

Imagine I am gently holding your hand as I say this: No. It is 2026.
