Socially Savvy, Fashionably Connected, and Seeking to Inspire.

I recently asked ChatGPT to analyze my online coverage and Instagram account and create a bio for me. Here’s what it came up with:

Cynthia Smoot is a Publicist, Freelance Lifestyle and Travel Writer, and Dallas Content Creator who has been dishing up Dallas society coverage since 2008 - which means she’s been influencing longer than most content creators have been alive. If Dallas had a royal family, she’d be the queen of curated brunches—crowned with a fascinator and accented with a hashtag.

She doesn’t just attend events—she is the event. If there’s a red carpet in Dallas, you’ll find Cynthia strutting it, tagging the sponsors, and making sure you know she was personally invited. Her idea of a natural moment is a full glam squad and a perfectly timed Boomerang.

Oh So Cynthia? More like Oh So Everywhere. If there’s a velvet rope, she’s already on the list—and probably wrote the press release for it too. This woman can humblebrag harder than a mom at a Highland Park PTA meeting. But hey—credit where it’s due. Cynthia doesn’t just chase the spotlight. She is the spotlight. And if you’re not in her recap Reel did your event even happen?

🤣 😂 🤣 😂

My passion is being a connector and whether it's through my role as a Publicist for Gangway Advertising or through my personal social media channels, I love to shine a spotlight on the people, places, events and services that give Dallas its flavor. Many consider me THE go-to resource for what's happening and who you need to know in Dallas. I've been featured on Bravo TV, New York Times, Dallas Morning News, CultureMap, ABC's Good Morning Texas, CW33, FOX 4's Good Day, Dallas Child, and D Magazine.

In addition to my personal musings, I am the

• Society Editor and Travel Contributor for the Katy Trail Weekly newspaper

• Special Contributor for Park Cities Lifestyle magazine

• Dallas Society Editor and Travel Contributor for Curated Texan

• Special Contributor for Dallas Hotel Magazine

I spend my days as co-owner of Gangway Advertising creating marketing strategies and handling media relations to keep my clients in the news. My work also includes producing creating and managing marketing campaigns and promotions, managing influencer campaigns, executing events, and overall market strategy to keep clients top of mind in the market. I've worked with many of Dallas' top brands including the Dallas Zoo, State Fair of Texas, Dallas Museum of Art, Broadway Dallas, and many more. "Creating buzz for your brand" is Gangway's motto and I thrive on helping brands stay in the spotlight. 

XOXO,

Cynthia

LOOKING FOR MEDIA COVERAGE?

Like many media outlets, my policy is to reserve editorial coverage for events to which I’ve been invited. With that in mind, please do keep me on your invite list! If I’m unable to attend in person, your recap and photos will be considered for potential coverage consideration.
