ABOUT ME
I’ve spent my career helping brands, communities, and teams tell better stories—especially in places where identity, culture, and economic growth intersect.
My mission is to help you feel more in control of your message.
Before agency life, alongside it, and sometimes in between, I’ve built and contributed to programs that sit at the crossroads of:
storytelling and systems
creativity and accountability
culture and commerce
From statewide influencer programs and accelerator ecosystems to content platforms of my own, my work has always centered on one question:
How do we build things that last—and bring people with us while we do it?
My Story
Curiosity drives me. I have a knack for taking mounds of information, understanding it, organizing it and finding the insights as foundations for development of strategy and measurable tactics. My specialties include team organization and management, social media strategy, digital marketing, all kinds of research, writing, brand strategy, and presentations. I listen more than I talk. I am Emily Reeves Dean and I am located in Little Rock, Arkansas.
My job is to create order from chaos.
My quest for knowledge has taken me to architecture school, journalism school, law school, guitar lessons, motorcycle classes, drawing classes, yoga classes, coding classes, photography classes, pitch competitions, a startup business accelerator, reading thousands of books, watching movies galore, publishing a book, fits and starts of writing projects, more airline miles that I can track, the insides of conference centers, presenting to rooms full of people and hours-on-end staring at a computer screen. I learn a little bit along the way from each experience. In general, I notice interesting ideas and share them online.
