ABOUT DANIELLE RIENAS, FOUNDER
Known for booking dinner reservations before flights, Danielle is a seasoned PR and marketing professional specializing in the travel and hospitality industry. With 12 years of bicoastal and international agency experience, she practices and preaches what she loves as a tireless advocate for the diverse people who represent this industry.
Since 2012, she has offered dedicated expertise in leading hard-hitting strategic campaigns for numerous luxury hotels and resorts, idyllic destinations, international airlines, Michelin-starred chefs and restaurants, lifestyle hotel brands, food halls, high-profile culinary festivals and events, and even Alaskan fishing communities.
Prior to launching her agency, she spearheaded the strategic direction and managed the San Francisco office as Executive Director at MMGY Wagstaff, named a "Best PR Agency in America" by Forbes. Wagstaff specializes in marketing, public relations, and social media for all aspects of hospitality, where she spent five years leading results-driven campaigns for clients within San Francisco, Napa Valley, Paris, The Islands of Tahiti, and beyond.
Prior to Wagstaff, she practiced PR in Miami at a boutique travel and tourism agency. For three years, she led accounts for internationally recognized branded resorts, independent hotels, and chef-driven restaurants throughout the Caribbean, Florida, and Latin America.
In 2020, she moved to Palm Beach County, Florida to launch DKR Media & Marketing with high-touch personalized services for travel and hospitality clients. With clients in Dubai, Paris, Australia, and Alaska, she believes indulging and celebrating hospitality is a full-time career and spends her "off-time" connecting with people, researching restaurants, hotel lobby bars, and dog-friendly haunts with her husband, toddler son, Bernedoodle named Mila and long-haired spunky chihuahua, Hugo Boss.
As a former collegiate a cappella star, she has a profound appreciation for the arts and live music, but her love for the fast-paced nature of the media world won out in the end, earning her a B.S. in public relations from the University of Florida, Gainesville.
