Hi, I’m Emily Parada! I hold a Master’s Degree in Communication from the University of Florida, where I dove deep into the art and science of effective communication with a specialization in public interest. When I’m not immersed in the world of marketing, you’ll most likely find me running or at the beach, soaking up the Florida sunshine. I’m a proud mom of three incredible children, and our family is completed by two furry babies – a crazy golden retriever puppy (Cuba) and our majestic Great Pyrenees (Arlo).
My love for the outdoors goes hand in hand with my passion for running, which I often do to clear my mind and find inspiration. Currently, I’m on an exciting journey as I train for my very first triathlon – a challenge I’m eagerly taking on!
What truly fuels my fire is creating – on and off-line. The opportunity to brainstorm and assist brands in crafting their narratives truly puts me into a state of flow. I thrive on helping small to medium sized businesses find their unique voice and story, allowing them to connect authentically with their audience.
Drawing from my expertise in communication, market research, and digital marketing best practices, I work closely with brands to uncover their essence and create compelling strategies. Through my guidance, these brands are not only able to articulate their stories more effectively, but they also learn to harness the power of storytelling to achieve their goals. My ultimate aim is to see businesses flourish as they establish genuine connections with their customers, and I find immense satisfaction in being a part of their success stories.
I have years of hands-on experience overseeing digital marketing strategies and implementing successful campaigns across a variety of of social channels as well as creating compelling content to captivate large-scale audiences and engage social media communities. I’ve helped grow website traffic, generate leads, and expand brand awareness. Throughout this journey, I’ve worked with brands in many different industries to achieve specific goals like increasing online donations, annual event ticket sales, increasing membership sign-ups, and more. Together, we have improved ROI and made hundreds of thousands of dollars on top of initial media investments.
So, whether I’m lacing up to run, or collaborating with brands to unleash their full potential, my life revolves around the pursuit of growth, both personally and professionally. If you’re a brand seeking to amplify your impact and create lasting connections, I’m here and excited to be your partner on this journey!
