Rural QueenB Media
I’m Julie. I’ve spent 20 years telling rural stories – first as an award-winning TV journalist, now as the Founder and Chief Strategist of Rural QueenB Media.
Here’s what I know: Rural businesses can compete nationally. Vermont brands can build global influence. Female founders can break through the noise. Global companies with small-town impact need someone who understands both worlds.

Amplifying Rural America’s Businesses
The roots run deep for Rural consumers – sometimes through generations. Companies need to understand our way of thinking to build the trust we expect from our employers, our services, and the products we buy.

TESTIMONIALS
What People Say About RQB Media
My first consulting project was with a Certified B Corp™. From that day forward, the Rural QueenB philosophy was born – prioritize companies that value people and the rural communities supporting their growth.
Julie has a remarkable talent for distilling complex messages into compelling narratives that actually resonate with media outlets. Julie knows what journalists are looking for and pitches them fully fleshed out ideas that they want to hear.

We first met when Julie consulted with an organization I previously worked for, where she navigated a complex and somewhat chaotic situation with grace and diplomacy. The result was a cohesive, impactful campaign that would have been impossible without her creativity and leadership.
