About

Hey, I'm Rylie.

I help small businesses and organizations build a social media presence people actually care about.

Every industry I've worked in added a new tool to my toolbox. Strip them all down to the most basic ingredient and it's always been storytelling.

The story

Before there was a YouTube.

I was making TikToks and YouTube videos before they even existed.

When I was 5, my dad bought a VHS home movie camera. Vacations, family dinners, get-togethers, Thursday nights at the neighbors' house: my dad or I was always making a home movie.

By 12, I was booking national touring bands, securing sponsors, and promoting concerts. That was the first tool in a toolbox that has kept growing ever since.

Background

Every job added a tool.

My background spans multiple industries, and each one taught me something I still use for my clients today.

  1. Age 12Concert promoter

    Booking national touring bands, securing sponsors, and promoting concerts.

  2. 2015–2022Maker & Etsy seller

    I founded my own business making custom signs, home décor, firepits, hitch covers, and more, and built it into a top seller on Etsy.

  3. The boardChamber member

    Like a lot of business owners, I joined my local chamber of commerce. Get involved in a chamber and eventually you get asked to serve on the board.

  4. 8+ yearsChamber industry

    That invitation led to 8+ years in the chamber world, from executive director of a small-town, one-man-band chamber to leading the marketing for one of Nebraska's largest chambers.

Strip it all down to the most basic ingredient and it has always been storytelling.

What I do now

Step out from behind the brand.

I help businesses and organizations step out from behind the brand and into the spotlight, so your community doesn't just see what you offer. They get to know you.

People don't connect with logos, they connect with story. They don't really want your product. They want the memory of how the experience made them feel. Before anyone cares about what you sell, they want to know who you are and why you do what you do.

The best way to promote yourself is to not promote yourself.

Show up, share the real story, and let your work speak through the people behind it. When people feel like they know you, they're not connecting with a brand. They're connecting with a friend.

I work with small businesses, chambers of commerce, visitors bureaus, downtown associations, and other community groups.

Strategy meets storytelling

A social media strategy built around your business and goals.

Systems that create impact

A content calendar system and templates that keep content going out on time.

Community builder

8+ years in chambers, from a one-man band to one of Nebraska's largest.

Small-town roots, big-city reach

Based in Kearney, Nebraska.

Liv Now.

I live by a simple principle: Liv Now. Yesterday's lessons and tomorrow's plans matter, but today is the only day you can act on them.

That mindset shapes how I work. I take ownership of every project, look for the positive in any situation, and treat today's problems as tomorrow's opportunities.

It's also how I show up for towns. Through Found in the Now, chambers of commerce, visitors bureaus, downtown associations, and other community groups bring me in for a 2 to 4 day community feature. I find the people and places that make your town worth the drive, and share them with my audience as @foundinthenow.

  • 20+Videos filmed on location in your community
  • ★Google and Facebook reviews for every featured business
  • $Local businesses can sponsor to cover the cost

Who can?
Rylie can.

Let's talk about your story, where your social media is now, and where it could be.

About

Hey, I'm Rylie.

I help small businesses and organizations build a social media presence people actually care about.

Every industry I've worked in added a new tool to my toolbox. Strip them all down to the most basic ingredient and it's always been storytelling.

The story

Before there was a YouTube.

I was making TikToks and YouTube videos before they even existed.

When I was 5, my dad bought a VHS home movie camera. Vacations, family dinners, get-togethers, Thursday nights at the neighbors' house: my dad or I was always making a home movie.

By 12, I was booking national touring bands, securing sponsors, and promoting concerts. That was the first tool in a toolbox that has kept growing ever since.

Background

Every job added a tool.

My background spans multiple industries, and each one taught me something I still use for my clients today.

  1. Age 12Concert promoter

    Booking national touring bands, securing sponsors, and promoting concerts.

  2. 2015–2022Maker & Etsy seller

    I founded my own business making custom signs, home décor, firepits, hitch covers, and more, and built it into a top seller on Etsy.

  3. The boardChamber member

    Like a lot of business owners, I joined my local chamber of commerce. Get involved in a chamber and eventually you get asked to serve on the board.

  4. 8+ yearsChamber industry

    That invitation led to 8+ years in the chamber world, from executive director of a small-town, one-man-band chamber to leading the marketing for one of Nebraska's largest chambers.

Strip it all down to the most basic ingredient and it has always been storytelling.

What I do now

Step out from behind the brand.

I help businesses and organizations step out from behind the brand and into the spotlight, so your community doesn't just see what you offer. They get to know you.

People don't connect with logos, they connect with story. They don't really want your product. They want the memory of how the experience made them feel. Before anyone cares about what you sell, they want to know who you are and why you do what you do.

The best way to promote yourself is to not promote yourself.

Show up, share the real story, and let your work speak through the people behind it. When people feel like they know you, they're not connecting with a brand. They're connecting with a friend.

I work with small businesses, chambers of commerce, visitors bureaus, downtown associations, and other community groups.

Strategy meets storytelling

A social media strategy built around your business and goals.

Systems that create impact

A content calendar system and templates that keep content going out on time.

Community builder

8+ years in chambers, from a one-man band to one of Nebraska's largest.

Small-town roots, big-city reach

Based in Kearney, Nebraska.

Liv Now.

I live by a simple principle: Liv Now. Yesterday's lessons and tomorrow's plans matter, but today is the only day you can act on them.

That mindset shapes how I work. I take ownership of every project, look for the positive in any situation, and treat today's problems as tomorrow's opportunities.

It's also how I show up for towns. Through Found in the Now, chambers of commerce, visitors bureaus, downtown associations, and other community groups bring me in for a 2 to 4 day community feature. I find the people and places that make your town worth the drive, and share them with my audience as @foundinthenow.
