Hello and welcome!
I’m Carrie - chief content & communications officer, media psychologist, entrepreneur, writer, author, podcaster, and travel + culture enthusiast. I’ve been working with large global brands. while also blogging, publishing articles and books, and curating content for ages, and after frequently sending my friends random stories, I thought it was time to condense them into a monthly media roundup, hence my “Media Maven” newsletter began.
I founded CMMedia and Age Box Ventures, and have had the pleasure of working with brands like Condé Nast, Hearst, Youtube, Netflix, Forbes, Four Seasons Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Airbnb, Expedia, Viking Cruises, Strategic Hospitality Group, Destination Canada, Brand USA, and Rodeo Drive, over the years. As an enthusiastic storyteller, I produce this newsletter, host The Age Box interview series + podcast, previously hosted the Travel Oracles podcast, wrote the children’s book “To Be We: The Adventures of Owen and Lucy”, and my writing and content has been featured in Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Vogue, Elle, The New Yorker, LA Times, Forbes, BBC, CNN, Skift, Haute Living Magazine, and more. I have now further expanded into media psychology research, studying the impact of media + technology on mental health and human behavior.
I am frequently on the road exploring through travel, and after living in New York City, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, London, and Vancouver. For more, visit Carrieamitchell.com
What is Media Maven?
Media Maven: This newsletter began as a monthly news round up of reads on culture, travel, media, and has expanded to include a dedicated Roam section for travel only, and a Podcast section to house my previous ‘Travel Oracles’ pod + occasional voice notes. It will also include some of my own writing and media insight throughout the month, that will not invade your email space. I am relentlessly curious and consume a lot of news as part of my work, and thought this outlet would be ideal, so I might as well share it and I hope it proves useful to you too. The aim of this newsletter is to keep you informed, explore some topics and ideas, move into action, and have some fun. It is mainly US, Canada & Europe focused for now, but includes global stories too, as I love hearing peoples stories and perspectives from around the world.
