ERIN BARTEL
Owner + Creative Director
In 2016 Erin opened Elite Media Ink, a boutique social media marketing & PR agency serving small business owners & non-profit organizations in the Wichita, KS Metro Area.
Erin holds certifications in Social Media Management and Inbound Content Marketing as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work - so it's no surprise that she spends her days helping local businesses and non-profits master the art & science of social media to better serve their audience.
She is also a founding contributor for Wichita Mom and has served as the organization's Content Director + Editor since 2015. She is on the Board of Directors for Crown & Covenant Publishing, and brings a variety of industry experience to the table, including publishing, parenting, salon/beauty, real estate, travel, trade shows, restaurants, legal, and non-profit advocacy. In 2023, Erin founded The Working Homeschool Moms, an organization committed to teaching moms how to balance working from home with kids - and homeschooling if they're crazy enough!
Married to an Aerospace Engineer and the mother of 2 elementary school children, Erin's hobbies include bribing herself to exercise, traveling with (and without) her family, and trying to remember where she hid the chocolate.
