Rebecca Bauer

I help build brands
and change conversations.

I've spent 15+ years in the business of telling stories and making people care — which turns out to be very good for business. Great content, like great relationships, is built on truly paying attention. I show up the same way for every project as I do for the people I work with: all in. Born in Chile. Raised in California. Now based in New York City, where I live with my three children and a mouse-killing cat named Trout.
