Lyndsay Dyk
Founder + Head Publicist
Born and raised in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Lyndsay grew up immersed in the legends and landscapes of the American West. Since then she has pursued her passion telling stories in media relations and hospitality from Seattle to New York to Portland. In 2019 Lyndsay left her in-house role at the book publisher Timber Press in order to return to the hospitality community as a publicist at the Portland firm Little Green Pickle. There, she supported dynamic winemakers, chefs, hospitality innovators, and other creatives.
In 2022, Lyndsay launched her own studio, Field Day PR, to further address the unique earned media needs of food and beverage clients with deep connections to the land, their community, and their mission. For clients like these, Lyndsay has conceptualized and managed media events and brand activations throughout the US. She’s introduced seasoned wine writers to emerging producers and local influencers to newly opened restaurants. She has created imaginative virtual tasting kits for top-tier media that begged to be unboxed on social and resulted in placements from Bon Appetit to Cosmo. Lyndsay holds a WSET Level 2 in Wine with Merit and sits on the board of the Northwest Cider Association.
