SHONTEL HORNE

Whether through copywriting and long-form editorial, inspiring and original video concepts, or engaging digital and social media strategies, my robust multi-platform experience has made me a leading voice in new media for more than a decade.

Having worked with entertainment companies (Turner Classic Movies, FOX, USA Network, CNBC, OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network), global CPG brands (L'Oréal Group, Kraft Foods, Caesarstone), and alongside celebrities and influencers, I have developed a unique approach to branded and editorial content that is always ahead of the trends.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to exploring how the luxury and travel industry relate to Black and multicultural consumers and entrepreneurs while providing tools and opportunities to make these industries inclusive and equitable.

As a wine enthusiast, I hold a Level II Certification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and I am pursuing my Level III Certification courtesy of a scholarship from the Napa Valley Wine Academy and the Association of African American Vintners. In 2021, my interest in wine education inspired me to launch my first business, VINOTES Wine Tasting Notebooks.
