Hello, I’m Carrie A. Mitchell
Founder at CMMedia, Luxe Sonder, and Age Box Ventures
Welcome! I am an American-Canadian entrepreneur, storyteller, and award-winning media and communications leader. With years of experience in developing brands and creative stories, I founded CMMedia to create and consult with brands, and on media + entertainment projects. As a multimedia storyteller, I cover travel, lifestyle, and culture as a writer, author, and creator. I host The Age Box podcast, previously the Travel Oracles podcast, created curated niche travel shopping x merch on Travel Aunties and Wild W/E Home, and my writing has appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Vogue, The New Yorker, CNN, BBC, Skift, Forbes, and more. I wrote a children’s travel book dedicated to my niece & nephew titled “To Be We: The Adventures of Owen and Lucy”, and anticipate my debut novel to publish in 2025. From my first internship at Seventeen Magazine, to the many collaborations over the years, media and content creation have always been a significant part of my career, as have my many entrepreneurial pursuits.
I bridge business and audiences in the United States, Canada, and Europe, having traveled to over 50+ countries, and spent chapters in New York City, Los Angeles, Denver, Vancouver, and London.
Work With Me
I work with brands and clients in two ways:
I. As a writer and creator specializing in travel, hotels, and lifestyle. I have spent years working with global brands as a media and communications pro in addition to my personal writing and creative content work. In particular, I really know luxury travel and hotels, having previously led communications at Four Seasons in Beverly Hills (Beverly Wilshire) and London (UK Collection), among other top brands. I am a podcaster, author, and writer on travel + culture with articles featured in Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Vogue, Forbes, BBC, Skift, and more. I regularly parter with brands on partnerships, editorial, content, and more.
II. As a communications and content expert at my company CMMedia and advisor specializing in travel brands. As an award-winning leader with extensive global experience, I have worked across industries in media, entertainment, luxury travel, hospitality, lifestyle, and consumer goods in American, Canadian, and European markets. This includes developing brands and narratives, creative campaigns, content, stories, and partnerships for industry-leading companies. My portfolio includes previous leadership roles at Four Seasons Hotels, BBH, Sonder Communications, and projects with Condé Nast, Hearst, Youtube, Netflix, Forbes, Marriott Hotels, Airbnb, Expedia, Viking Cruises, Strategic Hospitality Group, Wolfgang Puck, Moët Hennessy, Destination Canada, Discover America, and Rodeo Drive, where I served on the Board of Directors.
