Tanya Vece is a writer, publicist, and event production specialist whose career spans entertainment journalism, celebrity publicity, branding, and corporate marketing. She began her career as a freelance writing intern for the iconic television show Saturday Night Live and later contributed entertainment features for local publications in Colorado before launching her own public relations firm, Gossip Media, in 2002.

​

Throughout her career, Vece has worked alongside notable entertainers, musicians, entrepreneurs, and national brands. Early in her public relations career, she assisted Robert Downey Jr. with the Silver Lake drug rehabilitation initiative and coordinated media and promotional efforts in Las Vegas with personalities including Stuttering John Melendez and Mody. She also worked extensively on the Las Vegas Strip as a Special Promotions Coordinator and Catering Event Specialist for major resort properties and nightlife venues, producing events for clients such as IBM and Paul Mitchell, while coordinating celebrity-driven experiences involving figures such as Celine Dion, Johnny Depp, Oprah Winfrey, and Dennis Hopper during the acclaimed CineVegas film festival.

​

In 2007, Vece secured a six-figure contract after personally touring Tony Hsieh for a downtown Las Vegas event project. She went on to coordinate the first casino buyout contract for Hsieh and became the first event coordinator to secure logo branding for Zappos on the iconic tower of the The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower. That same year, she was honored as one of only 50 Las Vegans selected to receive a commemorative lightbulb from the famed Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign in recognition of her contributions to hospitality and promotions.

​

Vece also founded The Horse Chronicles, an independent online magazine that operated from 2002 to 2008. The publication became the only independent magazine credentialed by CNN to cover the Democratic Convention in Las Vegas and was invited to cover the International Press Awards hosted by James Cameron and Alec Baldwin. During this time, she interviewed entertainers and musicians ranging from Zach Galifianakis to Bumblefoot and covered artists including Red Hot Chili Peppers and U2.

​

As a writer, Vece contributed to Vegas Rocks Magazine alongside Russell Brand and regularly wrote for Full Metal Rock Magazine. In 2008, she also contributed as an uncredited ghostwriter on a Grammy-nominated album before releasing her first credited book, Itch: Love Stories About Heroin, inspired by the life and legacy of Layne Staley.

​

In 2016, Vece expanded into corporate and medical marketing, helping businesses across multiple industries—including healthcare, beauty, real estate, and service-based companies—develop branding strategies and earned media campaigns. She later transitioned into ghostwriting books for private clients while also contributing a historical entertainment column to the Boulder City Review. Her marketing efforts also helped the Dam Short Film Festival achieve record attendance, media coverage, and box-office results. In recognition of her community and publicity work, she received the Goldie Begley Energizer Award from the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce.

​

In 2020, Vece launched The Motley Magazine, a digital lifestyle publication focused on luxury travel, taste, culture, and elevated living. Today, Tanya Vece continues to consult on event production, multimedia marketing, branding, and publicity with clients throughout the United States. She also provides marketing services within the healthcare landscape.
