Amy Draheim
Founder of ABD Creative
A little bit about Amy…
Amy Draheim brings people to hotels, and hotels to people. After publishing her novel, which won a New York Public Library Award, Amy traded fiction writing for steaks, suites, and spas. In 2017, Amy founded ABD Creative, a marketing agency specializing in hospitality. She has gained a robust portfolio of travel, hospitality and lifestyle clients around the world since then, working as a marketing strategist to develop and execute campaigns. In the throes of the pandemic, Amy couldn't stand by. She launched How To Share, a hospitality podcast highlighting non-traditional hoteliers and visionaries in our industry. She also founded Marketing In A Box, a marketing subscription service for small hotels with restricted occupancy and budget, to level up their in-house marketing efforts. Most recently, Amy partnered with three other female founders to develop a marketing package built for restaurants navigating the post-pandemic world.
Based in Bend, Oregon with a chef/owner husband and three year old son named Reuben, Amy documents life as she knows it, on her blog, The Traveler's Journey, where she has partnered with Travelpro, Walla Walla Wine Alliance, and Red Travel Mexico. In addition to her podcast, Amy hosts live, candid, industry conversations on Clubhouse, including Hospitality Happy Hour and Hotelier Hot Seats. A published author, marketing expert, podcaster, and blogger, Amy's unique career experiences have formed her one-of-a-kind perspective. Visit http://www.amydraheim.com for more information.
