Today we’d like to introduce you to Olivia Polczyk.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
It all started on a warm Charleston evening, sitting at Coterie downtown. I was at happy hour with my best friend and we thought to ourselves: “why is it so hard to find one page with all daily happy hours on it?” So, we created it and made it much more!
That’s when it hit me—I was already the go-to person in my circle for the best restaurants, events, and hidden gems around Charleston. Why not make it official?
With a mix of excitement and some late-night brainstorming, Trending Charleston was born. My goal? To showcase everything that makes Charleston special—the new openings, the must-try menus, the coolest experiences, and the incredible people behind them.
But beyond just sharing where to eat and what to do, my passion as an influencer runs deeper. I love connecting with the community, supporting local businesses, and helping people experience Charleston in a way that feels fresh, fun, and unforgettable. Whether it’s the latest foodie craze, a rooftop happy hour, or a hidden boutique worth visiting, I want my followers to feel like they’re always in the know.
What started as a fun way to share my favorite spots has turned into something bigger—a true love letter to Charleston and the people who make it special. And the best part? I’m just getting started.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has been a smooth road
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
By day, I work as a senior buyer at Stellantis, but my passion for sharing Charleston’s best spots and experiences led me to create Trending Charleston as a creative outlet.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
