The Core
Erin Lentz
Founder & President
A Florida native yet longtime Aspenite, Erin’s career started at the Aspen Daily News as a fledgling music writer who accidentally hung up on Ray Charles during her first major interview (he called back!). She’s since covered a range of subjects, from celebrities and CEOs to pro athletes and politicians. She worked as an account director at Promo Communications, during which she traveled the globe handling international public relations for such adventure and lifestyle clients as the Aspen Skiing Company, Portillo, Chile, and Aspen Chamber Resort Association. She was the editor in chief of Aspen Peak magazine for seven years; as part of Niche Media/Modern Luxury, she concepted and generated luxury lifestyle stories.
After realizing the growing need for custom content and design, TAG Media was launched in August 2014. TAG creates custom print and digital publications, writes clever content, oversees provocative graphic design, and handles marketing and branding for various clients.
Erin has given seminars on travel and writing, leads webinar interviews with various experts, and writes for travel, lifestyle, and wellness publications, including Town & Country and Robb Report. She currently serves on the board of the Aspen Institute’s Aspen Words literary organization.
