Forbes
In March 2025, I successfully secured a feature in Forbes spotlighting several Austin properties, positioning the city as a premier destination for travelers seeking vibrant experiences during SXSW. This strategic media placement not only elevated the profiles of the featured hotels but also demonstrated my ability to align brand narratives with top-tier media opportunities, resulting in national exposure and increased interest from potential guests.
International Media Marketplace (IMM) Summit
In 2025, I attended the International Media Marketplace (IMM) Summit, a premier global event connecting top-tier travel media with leading destinations and brands, on behalf of a client. My participation provided a valuable opportunity to foster direct relationships with journalists, editors and content creators from across the industry. Through a series of one-on-one meetings, I introduced key story angles and media assets for the travel client I represented, aligning destination offerings with current editorial trends and media interests. This proactive engagement led to multiple follow-up opportunities, including interest from national and international outlets.
Media Mission - Austin, Atlanta
On behalf of a client, I successfully supported, coordinated and executed targeted media missions in Austin and Atlanta, two key markets for regional tourism promotion. These missions were designed to build meaningful connections between the client, destination partners and lifestyle, travel and food media. My responsibilities included identifying and securing top-tier journalists, overseeing logistical elements and ensuring that each event showcased Texas as a vibrant and diverse travel destination, highlighting the state’s cultural, culinary and outdoor assets. The result: strong media turnout, valuable editorial conversations and a pipeline of promising coverage opportunities.
