“I’m your cool auntie in Chicago…”

Rebecca Lehmann, the creator behind Becky in Chicago

Once upon a time, I dove headfirst into content creation as a professional development project. I wanted to understand social media platforms and algorithms better so I could bring what I learned back to the corporate team I was leading. I combined my love for Chicago – and my desire to explore, learn and simply know my city better – with more than a decade of experience telling brand stories as a digital marketer. “Becky in Chicago” was born.

As “your cool auntie in Chicago,” I create aspirational, attainable and real lifestyle content that celebrates everyday adventures – from spotlighting Chicago’s local businesses and neighborhoods to sharing travel, food and style finds that inspire my community.

My highly engaged following spans Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Threads. I bring a trusted and relatable voice to people looking for experiences and brands that feel both approachable and inspiring.

Just like your cool auntie.
