When you work with Electric Collab, you work with me directly. So let’s get to know each other!
WELCOME FRIEND
I’M EMILY PAULSEN
The meanest thing you could say to me?
That I’m just like everyone else. I’m not sure where I get off wanting to be so original, but I distain the idea of being basic, boring, and blending into the background. If you’re committed to carving your own path through the wild world of entrepreneurship, perhaps you feel the same way!?
Your brand should amplify that individual spark. The unique combination of talent, experience, expertise, and drive that naturally sets you apart. That’s exactly what Electric Collab is all about.
Why care what I say?
I have over a decade of brand development and marketing experience with a range of brands including Abercrombie & Fitch, The Wendy’s Company and scrappy-to-successful start-ups. As a Brand Manager, Visual Designer, Marketing Director and certified UX Designer (brag) I've spent years honing the ability to identify owner brilliance, articulate unique value and craft compelling brands that make a big impact.
TL;DR: I build pscyhology-based brands that are rooted in who you are, designed to convert the clients you want.
