Growing up I viewed big brands as larger than life. I was fascinated by the big retail numbers and the glitz and glam. My favorite thing about working in PR and social media is humanizing these brands to the everyday consumer or to other companies. Through telling their story I love seeing how brands and the people who make them up are like everyone else. Throughout my time working in public relations and social media, since my graduation in 2021, I’ve worked in a variety of sectors including crypto, Web3, tech, diversity and inclusion, financial services, AI and consumer insights. As you can see, I’ve been all over the place. I enjoy seeing what stories there are to tell and how best to tell them. Outside of my day job, I work with smaller companies doing social media and public relations work for my company, Courtney Marie Creative LLC. In this role, I am solely dedicated to helping grow my client, RiverLIFE Outfitters, build their presence and overall brand. Within the first seven months, I was able to generate a reach of 9,000+ on their Facebook profile alone. When I’m not working, I enjoy taking my corgi's, Muzz and Sid, on walks and spending time with family and friends. During the summer months, I enjoy exploring new areas and being outside.
