Marketing Management and Consulting

For brands, I manage marketing, as well as consult on marketing strategies. In addition, I assist and teach brands how to identify and utilize bloggers and other new media influencers successfully in their marketing plan. As a blogger, influencer, and marketer, I have an in-depth knowledge of bloggers, as well as the best practices for brands working with these new media professionals. I managed the marketing for a multi-national, short-term apartment rental company for four years.

Brand Awareness

Through my Website, various media outlets, and social media, I create brand awareness for hotels, restaurants, tour companies, destinations, as well as travel, lifestyle, beauty, and fashion-related business. I offer a multitude of marketing and promotion options.

My well-rounded marketing experience makes me ideal for clients looking to reach the American and English-speaking markets. I’ve worked with brands such as Four Seasons, Galeries Lafayette, Expedia, Embraer Jets, Rail Europe, Michelin Guide, and Shangri-La. Beyond my extensive work in France, Leah has also worked with destinations such as Japan, Austria, Aspen, Belgium, Switzerland,
Toronto, Malaysia, and Hawaii.

I’ve worked with 30+ French tourism boards and regularly collaborate with the Atout France USA office promoting travel and French brands to Americans. A few of my Atout France projects include hosting a live unveiling of Galeries Lafayette’s Christmas decor; Ryder Cup; World War I Centenary; oenotourisme campaigns; and the “Fall for France” campaign, which won Travel Weekly’s Gold Magellan Award for Destination Marketing.

Social Media Promotion

Through my personal travel brand, I have amassed a dedicated audience of 70,000+ across various social media outlets. I offer promotion via social media for destinations, products, and services that fit with my brand. Some options include hosting live broadcast, video presenting and producing, Instagram and Instagram Stories takeovers, brand ambassadorships, branded Facebook posts, etc. Please contact me for rates.

Writing and Editing

You name the subject, and I can probably write about it. Not just limited to travel and culinary, I’ve written Website content (like this entire site), business plans, marketing material, and even software control manuals for off-shore oil rigs. I also offer editing and proofreading services. I have been the editor for five travel blogs, including one that receives 1.5+ million unique visitors per year.

My writing has appeared in USA Today, CNN, Forbes Travel Guide, Four Seasons Magazine, France Today, etc. Her award-winning blog dates to 2012. Leah is also an experienced video presenter and was featured on CNN International in a television campaign seen in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Public Speaking and Video Hosting

Whether to a room full of my peers, a crowd of hospitality industry professionals, or on international radio and television, I have experience with public speaking. I’ve been interviewed numerous times for BBC radio and TV, as well as the Houston CBS affiliate, KHOU. I have addressed Audencia Business School alumni and led a panel at Paris’ EquipHotel trade show about the importance of brands working with bloggers and influencers. From creating personal brands to current tourism trends to teaching brands about social media and working with bloggers, I am available to speak on a multitude of subjects.

I also co-founded ALLEZ Entertainment along with two veteran Hollywood producers. I serve as the host and producer of original videos series, as well as bespoke content for brands.

Social Media Management, Training, and Auditing

Do you need help with your brand’s social media? I take the lessons I’ve learned from managing my own brand and incorporate them into your strategies. Whether you’re interested in a social media audit, training for your social media team, or full management for your social media, I can help. I’ve consulted with travel and tourism brands and have managed the social media for four brands. Channels include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.
