Christen Clinkscales
Hype-woman for Small Businesses
With a background in corporate marketing and a brief stint in culinary school, Christen Clinkscales' journey to entrepreneurship wasn’t a straight path. However, no matter where her path took her, she always had one constant: storytelling.
After honing her culinary skills while working a corporate job in New York City, Christen discovered a passion for food photography and social media. What began as a hobby quickly evolved into a thriving Instagram account, @christeneats, where she shares the latest culinary delights of her hometown, Greenville, SC. A fierce advocate for local small businesses, Christen’s involvement in the community quickly expanded beyond the culinary industry to include a wide variety of businesses and organizations.
Christen pivoted from corporate marketing toward her true calling in 2021 —supporting small businesses through digital marketing and photography. CC Media was born. She now melds her photography and food styling skills with her social media knowledge to help clients in a variety of ways. Along with running social media accounts and doing food photography, Christen also works as a commercial and editorial food stylist in South Carolina.
When she’s not working, Christen enjoys spending time at home with her hound, Hazel, and her cat, Sesame, trying out new restaurants with friends, and traveling the world.
