A Career Built Across Worlds
Blue Soul Media didn’t emerge from one industry. It grew from decades spent at the crossroads of business, culture, media, technology, publishing, travel and consciousness. That breadth makes it possible to see both the strategic architecture of compelling ideas and the human stories—and interactions—beneath them.
Strategy, Positioning & Communications
From Saatchi & Saatchi, AI-driven solutions, and international agencies to Magic Sauce Media, Blue Soul Media, and in-house roles with Fortune 500 companies and start-ups, Renee has spent decades helping visionaries, companies, founders, and emerging ideas identify what was aligned and what wasn’t, define their position, sharpen their story and build visibility around what makes them truly matter.
Her work has crossed technology, AI, health, wellness, travel, publishing, science, entertainment and conscious business—from pioneering start-ups to global brands.
The common thread throughout her career has been translating complexity into an aligned and clear point of view, a compelling narrative and a strategy people can understand and act on consistently.
Her authentic voice has helped others find their own, step into their power and speak their truth. Her ethics and integrity have built trust with the brands and entrepreneurs she works with, giving launches and rebranding campaigns staying power.
Media, PR & Thought Leadership
Renee has developed media strategies, represented executives, authors, artists, musicians and visionaries, built influencer programs and served as a spokesperson across national and international media. She has worked on both sides of the editorial equation: understanding what organizations want to say and what journalists, influencers, audiences and communities actually need in order to care.
Her voice and work have appeared on CNN, Good Morning America, Travel + Leisure, Entertainment Weekly, BBC, NPR, CBS, Forbes, NBC, Wall Street Journal TV, Boston Globe and beyond. That experience informs a practical approach to visibility: helping others align with their vision, lead from that alignment, and build products and services that match it.
For years, she has helped others build platforms, make their relevance unmistakable and build credibility before chasing reach, numbers and profits.
International Collaborations
Working across six continents has given Renee a diverse and pivotal understanding of how ideas land differently across markets, cultures and communities.
She has supported launches, partnerships, media initiatives and thought-leadership programs that required more than translation—they required context, cultural fluency and an ability to identify the common human thread without flattening what makes each audience distinct.
It also required empathy, deep listening, code-switching, curiosity and an astute understanding of how to create a pyramid of messages that connect to individual markets.
That perspective continues to shape Blue Soul Media. The goal is not simply to make a message bigger, but to make it aligned and resonant, genuine and clear enough to travel, attuned and nuanced enough to adapt and grounded enough to remain authentic as it moves into new rooms, industries, markets and conversations.
Books, Stories & Publishing
A journalist, publisher, photographer and award-winning author herself, Renee understands what it means to turn an idea into a body of work and platform, and then build an audience around it. She approaches a book not as an isolated product, but as a potential anchor for a much larger ecosystem of ideas, media, speaking, community and thought leadership.
Her experience spans publishing, editorial strategy, author positioning, book launches, media outreach and the larger platform that can grow from a book.
The work is about preserving an author’s voice while creating enough structure, positioning and momentum for the idea to travel far beyond the page or stage. Of course, it doesn’t end there either. A larger and deeper platform leads to a community that extends your idea, voice or vision, perhaps even into new markets or international ones. This moves your vision into a legacy that helps to shape movements.
Speakers & Ideas
As a longtime curator and producer of TEDxBerkeley, Renee has worked with entrepreneurs, authors, scientists, artists and leaders to shape talks, clarify ideas and prepare for consequential stages. She also drove content for TEDxUNPlaza, the only TEDx event held at the United Nations.
The strongest talk is rarely a compressed résumé. It has a center: one idea worth carrying into the room, a narrative architecture that gives it meaning and a delivery style that feels embodied rather than performed. Renee’s work with speakers focuses on finding the alignment, shaping it and building the story, language and presence around it.
She has also moderated or spoken at technology and travel conferences and institutions worldwide, including SXSW, Cambridge University, the New York Times Travel Show, New Living Expo, Conscious Life Expo, the Travel & Adventure Show and many others.
From Stage to Platform
A TEDx stage, keynote, panel, podcast and press interview each ask something different of the same idea. The message may be consistent, but the architecture, pacing, level of intimacy and audience expectation change from room to room.
Renee’s experience across formats helps speakers protect the core of what they want to say while adapting how they express it. The goal is not performance for its own sake; it is to create the conditions for an idea to be understood, remembered and carried forward.
We move from ideation to alignment and narrative, shape and messaging, to platform, for which other things spring. A platform lets you extend your book, talk, product or service into an ecosystem that thrives long after launch.
Consciousness Retreats
Renee’s work in consciousness, Wisdom School teaching and retreat facilitation added a different dimension to her communications work: an understanding that clarity is not only intellectual. People communicate differently when the message is aligned with what they believe, value and are prepared to embody—truly embody.
These experiences now inform how she works with leaders, authors, speakers and founders. Rather than treating strategy as a layer placed on top of a person or idea, she begins with perception, intention and coherence—then translates that inner clarity into language, story, positioning and experiences others can feel.
Her facilitation work has also reinforced that meaningful transformation is experiential. Information may open the door, but lasting shifts often happen when insight is practiced, felt and integrated. That same principle applies to communication: the most resonant messages are not merely polished; they are lived.
Not a Single-Lane Career
The perspective behind Blue Soul Media was shaped by moving across
industries, disciplines and cultures rather than staying
inside one. Each world added a different lens:
taught her how emerging ideas become movements.
taught her what makes a story travel—and what gets lost when it is oversimplified.
taught her how a single idea can grow into a body of work.
taught her how to distill a complex idea into a message people can remember.
taught her to notice context, culture and the details that create empathy and meaning.
deepened her understanding of alignment, resonance and the difference between a message that sounds good and one that feels true.
showed her how profoundly life can change when people expand their understanding of what it means to be human.
reinforced that sustainable transformation is experiential—not just intellectual.
As perception shifts, possibility opens—and emotional intelligence can move from the margins to become a guiding force in how we lead, create, relate and live.
Today, those worlds come together in one approach: alignment before amplification.
First find the center. Then clarify the message, shape the story, build the
strategy and choose the right channels. When the message is coherent
and embodied, visibility becomes more than reach—it becomes resonance.
Special Moments & Collaborations
Along the way, the work has created an unusual collection of diverse conversations, collaborations and memorable encounters with leaders, thinkers, artists, innovators, musicians, and culture-shapers across media, technology, entertainment, public life and social impact.
These images are less about proximity than perspective: a career spent in rooms where ideas are being exchanged, challenged and moved forward. The common thread has been a
curious mind—listening closely, learning across worlds and noticing what
makes an idea, a story or a person align and truly resonate.
Different industries. Different rooms. Different dynamics. One continuing practice: listen
closely, tune into a genuine and aligned thread, find the human center and help meaningful
ideas move with authenticity, meaningful purpose, clarity and context.

Experience Is Only Useful If
It Serves What Comes Next
Experience matters when it helps you see patterns faster, ask better questions,
avoid unnecessary noise and build the next chapter with intention.
You may be launching a book, preparing for a significant stage, repositioning your work, launching a new service or product, or trying to understand how decades of ideas and experience fit into one coherent platform.
The work begins by finding what you align with most now—and
building the positioning, narrative, strategy and platform around it.
