Rachel is a tactical optimist. From the start of her communications career at natural foods superstore Wild Oats, she has successfully engaged audiences in environmental, arts and social justice challenges. At Upwell, Rachel leads the development of cutting edge big listening practices. She couples this big data approach with the resiliency-increasing tactic of campaigning across a distributed network.
Because of Rachel's vision, the ocean community knows the baseline of conversation on their issue for the first time. Every week through the Tide Report, 400+ individuals are campaigning for the ocean with that vital communications context. To date, she has caused nine humans to be trained in the rare science/art of big listening to the ocean conversation online. There are also nine more professionals who know how to run attention campaigns, and to campaign across a distributed network. Rachel is proud to have opened a near zero waste office (damn you pesky plastic film!), furnished with reused and repurposed furniture.
