About Me

Welcome to my media relations and marketing portfolio!

My name is Valerie Streif, I am from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I have over 10 years of media relations, marketing, copywriting, and social media experience working for startups and small businesses.

While my primary focus has been the tourism, leisure, and hospitality industries, I also have experience in technical software sales companies, job search companies, sexual health and wellness brands, luxury lifestyle, and AI-focused industries.

I have a passion for finding unique angles and creating newsworthy stories for brands of all sizes, to share their value proposition with the masses through earned media. Nothing beats the feeling of securing free publicity for an exciting brand or organization, and I feel so lucky to have the amazing relationships and connections with journalists, reporters, and producers that I do.
