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!

My content has been featured by CrowdRiff, including being highlighted as an example of how the creator program works. One of my 10-second Reels, created for @visitgalena, became their 3rd most-viewed of 2023 and 4th most-viewed of all time—entirely made with my CrowdRiff Creator content.
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.
