A Las Vegas Journalist Turned Entrepreneur is Helping Brands Resonate in Media and Beyond
By Patranya Bhoolsuwan
In a world that thrives on connection, few people embody the power of cross-cultural storytelling quite like Patranya Bhoolsuwan. A former Emmy-winning broadcast journalist turned communications strategist, Patranya is on a mission to help brands, entrepreneurs, and changemakers tell their stories in ways that resonate deeply and reach widely.
“The best stories connect people across differences,” says Patranya. “And to do that well, you have to truly understand the people you’re talking to about their culture, values, and what moves them.”
Born in Thailand, raised in the U.S., and having worked in major media markets across the country, Patranya’s identity is deeply rooted in bicultural fluency. She doesn’t just translate languages, but she also translates experiences. This global lens allows her to approach storytelling with both sensitivity and strategy, especially when helping brands reach multicultural audiences.
Whether working with a Thai restaurant in Las Vegas, a national nonprofit, or a Silicon Valley tech startup, she brings an intuitive understanding of how culture, communication, and community intersect, a rare asset in today’s fragmented media landscape.
“I used to think living between cultures made me different in a bad way,” she reflects. “But I’ve realized that being a cultural bridge is actually my superpower.”
With more than 20 years as a broadcast journalist in cities like Seattle, Las Vegas, and Washington, D.C., Patranya has interviewed thousands, from U.S. Senators to everyday heroes, distilling complex ideas into compelling, authentic stories.
Now, she brings that journalistic precision to her clients. Through Patranya Media LLC, she helps entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and businesses craft clear, confident, and camera-ready messages that command attention and trust.
“I’ve sat in the anchor chair and now I sit beside my clients, guiding them through the same process,” Patranya says. “Media exposure isn’t just about being seen, it’s about being prepared and being heard.”
At the heart of Patranya’s work is one guiding belief: Visibility is power, especially when it’s authentic.
Among the different services she offers her clients include securing local and national press coverage, sharpening messaging for diverse audiences, building brand authority through storytelling, and media training to help clients feel confident and credible on camera and in public speaking.
“Everyone has a story that deserves to be shared,” she says. “But not everyone knows how to say that’s where I come in.”
And thanks to her cross-cultural lens, she knows how to shape stories that resonate across lines of race, language, and lived experience, a critical skill in today’s diverse consumer and media environment.
As a proud AAPI entrepreneur herself, Patranya is committed to helping other underrepresented voices get seen and heard. Through her Entrepreneur Showcase Series podcast and speaking engagements, she regularly highlights founders, creatives, and changemakers who are reshaping their industries and communities.
Her impact goes beyond business. It’s about shifting the narrative showing what’s possible when diverse voices are centered, and when every brand dares to tell its story with purpose.
“I want to create space for more people who look like me and who don’t always get the microphone, to rise, shine, and lead”.
