WELCOME TO DALLASITES101
YOUR 101 TO LIFE IN DALLAS, PROPELLING THE PROSPERITY OF THE CITY, ITS BUSINESS AND PEOPLE.
YOUR GO-TO MEDIA OUTLET
Dallasites101 began with two women, Lily & Kara, sharing their adventures on Instagram in 2015, one year after they both moved to Dallas. As transplants, they strived to encourage fellow Dallasites to go beyond their comfort zones & find a sense of place, joy & home in Dallas, and Texas as a whole.
A few months after their start, they recognized the need to go beyond the 'gram and create real experiences between businesses and Dallasites. From happy hours to bar crawls to yoga classes and beyond, they have hosted countless events that have cultivated personal relationships, increased local business sales and awareness, and fostered a sense of community.
After more than five years, Dallasites101 remains one of the largest lifestyles Instagram accounts in Dallas, about Dallas.
101MEDIA
Over time, Dallasites101 morphed into a localized media company known as 101Media acting as an umbrella company for Dallasites101 and Austinites101, while also representing local businesses as a full-service digital marketing agency and supporting them on social media, influencer marketing, website development, with public relations, in-house production, and more. 101Media now manages over 50 businesses across hospitality, real-estate, retail, & many other industries.
Dallasites101 aims to make Dallas a more accessible and fun place to live through daily content, hosting monthly events, sharing community events and city news. Looking forward, we are excited to continue to contribute to shaping a future for Dallasites and beyond!
