Aimee Knebel

Aimee Knebel is the St. Louis Community Manager for Yelp.com and also works as on-air talent for FOX Sports Midwest covering Cardinal baseball, Blues hockey, and big twelve football.  A graduate of Lindenwood University in 2008, she headed straight for Chicago where she worked on the corporate PR team at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide with clients ranging from Playskool, to Cricket Wireless, to CDW and Cardinal Health. Although she was a fan of the fast-paced environment and the challenging projects, Aimee wanted more room for creativity (and was so tired of the evil winters) and decided after two years that it was time to move back to St. Louis and start working in her hometown.

When a public relations job opened up at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, she was quick to snag it and began working as CAM’s Public Relations Director where she spent time planning PR campaigns, running their social media programs, identifying emerging trends in the national and international art world and planning buzz-worthy community events. She thought she finally had her dream job, until one afternoon when she got a very interesting email from a website called Yelp.com…

Fast forward two months, five interviews, and two creative projects later, and you have the St. Louis Community Manager & Marketing Director for Yelp.com, a website that connects people to great local businesses in the form of consumer reviews. Aimee officially now knows the true meaning of a dream job, and runs Yelp St. Louis’ public relations, social media, and marketing from her couch, her kitchen table, coffee shops, and everywhere in between. In addition to Yelp, Aimee was picked up as on-air talent for FOX Sports Midwest in August of 2011.

Aimee lives in Clayton, MO where she loves running in Forest Park, cooking big dinners in her apartment, high-fiving her dog and drinking wine at Sasha’s Wine Bar.
