About the Founder
Cassie Kautzman is a social and influencer marketing strategist who helps brands build authentic connection through culture and strategy.
Her love for digital storytelling started early: from crafting AIM away messages to customizing Myspace layouts — and evolved into over a decade-long career leading social and influencer programs that have driven millions of impressions and engagement for global entertainment, lifestyle, and non-profit brands.
As the Founder and Lead Strategist of Del Rio Media, Cassie has partnered with global brands, festivals and studios across entertainment and lifestyle. Her experience includes leading or consulting on campaigns for Outside Lands, Paramount+, Pharrell Williams’ Mighty Dream Forum, Rolling Stone, A24, TikTok, Birkenstock, and Walgreens, as well as purpose-driven initiatives like Destination Crenshaw and The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis.
Her approach blends insight and intuition — grounding creative ideas in data, audience behavior, and cultural relevance. With a sharp understanding of digital culture and emerging trends, Cassie helps brands anticipate what audiences care about next and translate that into authentic creative strategy.
She specializes in campaign architecture, influencer programs, and content strategies that balance storytelling with performance — ensuring brands not only show up meaningfully, but show measurable results.
She believes great marketing doesn’t chase trends — it understands them, participates in them, and turns conversations into lasting connection.
