In 2011, Diana planted roots in Chicago and in the past decade firmly established herself in the media industry, managing events for storied institutions like Crain’s Chicago Business, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune. Prior to founding DRV Collective, Diana was the head of events + marketing for Chicago magazine; she was the driving force behind the publication’s entire event strategy, including annual signature events and custom advertiser events, spearheaded media sponsorship efforts and developed brand partnerships.
Diana founded DRV Collective to bring her expertise to clients in a consulting capacity, meeting a growing demand from brands looking to outsource their event and marketing strategy.
