Vanessa Horwell is the founder and Chief Visibility Officer of ThinkInk & TravelInk'd, a public relations and visibility firm that shuns press releases in favor of storytelling. She has spent the past 18 years working with companies in the US, UK and Europe, developing successful campaigns and strategies for their brands. She founded ThinkInk in 2004, after being fed up with PR agencies that offered mediocre results for big fees. Today, Ms. Horwell is a senior level strategist who works with companies in North America, EMEA and Asia-Pac in developing winning media campaigns, building relationships with influencers, and improving visibility through a unique style of public relations. She also has an entrepreneurial spirit that comes from having raised capital for start-ups, and having grown her own businesses. Ms. Horwell is also recognized in the field of mobile marketing through her ongoing column in the mobile industry resource, Mobile Marketer, the Director of PR for the Heartland Mobile Council (HMC) in North America, and being named to the Mobile Women to Watch 2010 for her contributions to mobile advertising, marketing and media in 2010. Whether she works in mobile, travel or technology, Ms. Horwell's purpose is to help build reputations and relationships for the company's clients - with media, potential customers and partners; to tell her clients' stories to the world, and to make them visible where it counts most. She uses her almost two decades of industry insight to create PR campaigns with a purpose, creating awareness, instilling beliefs, changing behaviors and motivating actions that translate into support for ThinkInk's clients.
