CrowdRiff Creators helps Destination Marketing Organizations scale their short-form video output by handling the sourcing, onboarding, managing, and compensating of creators. Instead of working with big-name influencers, they engage in-the-know locals whose breadth and depth of destination knowledge builds unrivaled trust with travelers.

As a CrowdRiff Creator, I produced engaging short-form content showcasing the charm of my hometown, Galena, IL. Featured on Visit Galena's social media platforms, these videos highlight the region's top destinations and experiences, with some reaching more than 50,000 and 100,000 views!

This reel of Thunder Bay Falls reached +108,000 views.

This reel of the Galena Halloween Parade I created while managing Scent Workshop social channels reached more than 54,000 views.

Travel Dubuque
After creating content for Visit Galena and showcasing the beauty of my hometown, I was excited to create content of @planted.dbq, for Travel Dubuque. Exploring new places in my community, that soon became favorites, and sharing these experiences through social media has been so fun. I've loved getting to meet new people and use my passion for social media alongside CrowdRiff's mission.
