Media Kit-Contact Us

Media Kit

Hello, I'm Bonnie Kenaz-Mara, AKA:  ChiIL Mama. I am a freelance writer-videographer-photographer with a P.R./Marketing & Theatre Arts degree (with honors) from Miami University and over 25 years of experience in the business. Our award winning, Chicago based blog, ChiIL Mama hit 400,000+ page views a month at our peak and has a strong national as well as local following. We have a high Google Page Rank of 4 and a KLOUT score of 64.

We specialize in blogging about Chicago based adult & children's theatre, multicultural events, and live concerts, but also cover eco-friendly living, fashion, food and fun. 

My Children were born in 2001 & 2003 but we still feature family friendly activities for all ages. We're open to pitches from anyone, as our readers range from expecting parents to grandparents, but we particularly seek out products and places of interest to families, as well as the off beat, alternative, and eco-friendly. Our tickets and events are Chicago based, and our reviews, parenting features and giveaways are nationwide.

If you are a company or a PR person, please feel free to contact me directly at Zbluesun@gmail.com regarding networking opportunities, brand ambassador programs, influencer events or advertising rates.   
  
I specialize in professional quality video and photo filled features. I'm happy to review toys, music, productions, products, housewares, restaurants and classes for adults or children and give my readers an honest opinion. We also love to run give aways.  

I also publish ChiIL Live Shows which features more adult theatre and music including original video interviews, live show stills, and video footage.
