Meet the Founder: Carrie Georgette Kerner
The Bridge Between Global Strategy and Modern Storytelling
Carrie Georgette Kerner is a seasoned publicist and digital creator with a career defined by nearly two decades of in-house and agency experience. She has spent her professional life bridging the gap between high level global strategy and the grassroots influence necessary for modern growth. Her background in Fortune 500 brand management provides the sophisticated strategy required to elevate global icons, while her personal platform offers a genuine entry point into the luxury lifestyle market.
From Manhattan to Miami
Carrie began her career in the fast paced New York City market at M. Silver Associates (now Finn Partners), where she established a foundation in luxury travel and hospitality PR. During this tenure, she orchestrated the global launch of Riviera Nayarit, Mexico, transforming it into a world-renowned destination for celebrities and luxury travelers. She also represented the prestigious Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts, including the iconic Burj Al Arab, recognized as one of the most prestigious properties in the world.
In 2011, Carrie joined Carnival Cruise Line in Miami as the Social Media and PR Brand Senior Manager. In this role, she managed complex brand ecosystems and international market trends for a global Fortune 500 leader. She directed the social media and public relations initiatives for one of the largest travel brands in the world and navigated high-stakes global crisis communications, notably leading the real-time social and PR response for the Costa Concordia tragedy.
Boutique Agility & Local Influence
In 2014, Carrie founded CG Social Inc., in Miami, a premier PR and social media house representing luxury lifestyle, hospitality, and celebrated culinary brands. Her unique perspective allows her to navigate complex corporate environments with the agility of a specialized boutique agency. Her track record includes securing top-tier placements in The Today Show, The New York Times, Forbes, Food & Wine, and Travel + Leisure.
Since relocating to Westport, Connecticut in 2020, Carrie has captured a unique niche audience of high-net-worth suburbanites. As a mother of three, she understands the nuances of the modern lifestyle market, which led to the creation of Books on the Beach (BOTB). This thriving community of over 250 women in the Westport area has evolved into a premier platform for lifestyle activations, hosting best-selling authors and partnering with renowned culinary sponsors like Bartaco and PopUp Bagels.
Life and Style: Beyond the Agency
When she is not architecting brand narratives or hosting community events, Carrie is likely found leaning into the beautiful chaos of life as a mother to three little girls. An avid wellness enthusiast and tennis player, she finds balance through daily gratitude practices and intentional movement. She is happiest anywhere near the water, whether soaking up the Westport sunshine or finding peace on a beach abroad.
Carrie is a natural seeker of the best in life, whether she is scouting the next great luxury perfume, hunting for a premium deal online, or discovering the latest culinary hot spot to share with friends. A dedicated consumer of podcasts and books, she is constantly fueling her curiosity to better serve her community and clients. Whether she is traveling with her family or sharing a "radical realness" moment on social media, Carrie lives by the same principles she brings to her business: building a life through joy, discovery, and authentic connection.
