Joe Baur

With over 15 years of experience in editorial content and filmmaking, my work has been featured by prominent outlets such as BBC Travel, National Geographic, and Saveur. I’m also a regular contributor to Outside Magazine, where I produce editorial and video content that spotlight diverse running cultures from around the globe. Additionally, I’ve authored several adventure guidebooks and a travel memoir, and I’m the creative force behind Without A Path, a travel website and YouTube channel dedicated to off-the-beaten-path storytelling.

In the realm of video production, I have created and produced content for high-profile clients like the German National Tourist Board, where I developed The Germany Travel Show. My documentary work has been showcased at international film festivals, including the Human Rights Human Wrongs Film Festival and the Portland Bike Film Festival, highlighting my ability to tell compelling stories across various mediums.

I currently serve as the Editorial Content Manager at Speedinvest, where I lead the creation of a comprehensive content strategy that reinforces the firm’s position as Europe’s leading early-stage venture capital firm. My work spans expert-driven interviews, research-based articles, and end-to-end video production, all aligned with SEO best practices and broader marketing goals.

Previously, I was the Content Lead for the US market at trivago, where I played a key role in shaping the global magazine's editorial voice and strategy. I managed a team of freelance writers, launched trivago’s first podcast, and led a storytelling video series that significantly enhanced audience engagement. My efforts at trivago contributed to a 600% increase in organic traffic and established a strong foundation for the brand’s content-driven growth.

Driven by a passion for compelling storytelling, I continually seek innovative ways to engage audiences and amplify brand narratives. Whether through writing, video production, or social media, my goal is to create content that not only informs and inspires but also delivers measurable impact. Health and fitness, sustainable travel, food culture, and building environmental awareness through these topics is an area about which I'm equally passionate. I am always interested in working with brands, companies, and partners who share these values and interests.
