About our Speaker
Emma Jamieson is a Freelance Communications & Content Strategy Director based in Edinburgh working with clients across Entertainment, Arts, and Hospitality - from contemporary dance companies to global hotel groups. She helps brands find the stories that will help them shine, then builds the strategies to get them out there and turn audiences into fans. Obsessed with how people discover things, how culture, social media, and fandom shape human behaviour, she loves helping stories travel across platforms, formats, and real-world spaces to create meaningful impact. She loves a good martini, getting to the cinema before the adverts start, and writing spicy romance in her spare time.
Feel free to connect with Emma on LinkedIn!
