Rachel Sutton

Hi, I'm Rachel.

I help brands tell their stories in a way that feels genuine—because the best PR doesn't feel like PR at all.

With over a decade of experience spanning hospitality, food & beverage, wellness, and lifestyle brands, I've had the privilege of working with everyone from boutique California glamping destinations to luxury hotels in Venice and Fiji.

Currently at Glodow Nead Communications, I've honed my craft across some of the industry's best agencies, working with clients in San Francisco, New Orleans, and New York. I studied Communications at the University of San Francisco and spent a semester soaking up la dolce vita in Florence.

Based in Los Angeles, fueled by good coffee and California sunshine.

Crafting narratives that capture what makes your brand special—then finding the right moments and outlets to share them.

Launch Campaigns

New property openings, product launches, and milestone moments deserve a thoughtful rollout. I create buzz that builds momentum.

Curated experiences that give journalists a genuine feel for your brand. Every detail considered, every moment intentional.

Thought Leadership

Positioning founders and executives as trusted voices in their industry through bylines, speaking opportunities, and expert commentary.
