Hello there! I am Shana Bull (in a previous life I was Shana Ray), owner of Shana Bull, Digital Marketing. I'm in love with low-alcohol wines, elaborate cheese boards, craft beer, and going on food adventures with my husband and redheaded toddler.

I am now a best-selling Children’s Book Author of a book I co-wrote with my son when he was two years old! Check out Randall the Blue Spider Goes Surfing.

Recently, my family moved to the Sacramento area, and I love getting to explore new restaurants, pop-up food places, breweries, wineries, and playgrounds.

My official title is Digital Storyteller because I am passionate about helping brands connect with their audience and tell their unique story through digital media. 

I specialize in working with wine, food, & travel brands, marketing agencies, and local businesses in California - Long Beach, Orange County, Sacramento, Paso Robles, East Bay, Temecula, SLO, Sonoma, Napa, Marin, East Bay, and San Francisco, CA.

I have helped thousands of marketers and small business owners feel more confident with their social media marketing skills to engage with their target audiences and create ongoing content with value and a call to action.

In addition to marketing, my love for storytelling has led me from having my own wine, food, parenting and social media blog here (and other random websites.. remember when everyone was on tumblr), to writing monthly columns and freelance articles on travel, music, wine, food, travel, parenting, and digital marketing for SonomaCounty.com, North Bay Business Journal, Sonoma Magazine, and a few more.

A born storyteller, passionate about helping brands tell their story through social media and digital media.  

My background includes social media marketing, content creation in the form of writing and photography, SEO, consulting, community management, strategic planning for word-of-mouth and marketing campaigns, public speaking, influencer marketing, public relations, and event planning for everything from small wine events, to large seminars, to large tweetups for hundreds.

I have been so honored to have worked with top national brands, including Xbox Media, L'oreal, Hewlett Packard, World Market (Cost Plus), United Ways of California, Scharffen Berger Chocolate, Sephora, Microsoft, Clos du Bois, Kendall Jackson Wine Estate, Snapfish, Wacom Technology, Make a Stand #Lemonaid, The Brickyard Marina, Robert Mondavi Wines, and so many more small businesses.

Named one of the Top 40 Under 40 Young Professionals by the North Bay Business Journal in 2017. Named one of 16 Brilliant Thinkers to Follow on Linkedin by LinkedIn Business Solutions in 2021. And one of 10 Funny People in Social Media by Plann (social media scheduler).

My blog, titled Word and Food in Mouth, or Word + Mouth for short is all about my adventures across the California wine country — my food, wine, travel, and family adventures — along with some social media marketing content thrown in. 

Word of mouth marketing meets food, meets my mouth -- it just felt right!
