Hello, I’m Tanya Burkhardt, owner and publisher of BeLocal Upper Miami Valley and a local marketing expert specializing in community visibility and new-mover marketing. I help local businesses build trust, strengthen brand recognition, and stay top-of-mind with new homeowners and established residents throughout Miami County and communities in northern Montgomery, southern Shelby, and eastern Darke counties.

Through BeLocal’s mix of print, digital advertising, social media, and community engagement, I connect businesses with people deciding where to shop, dine, hire, and invest locally. I work personally with each partner to create authentic marketing that reflects their business, supports their goals, and builds lasting local recognition.

With more than a decade of experience as a business owner and community connector, I understand that effective marketing is not just about being seen—it is about being known, trusted, and remembered throughout the Upper Miami Valley.
