ACCOUNT COORDINATOR

Emily Newberry

How does Emily get to understand people? Astrology and tarot. She loves exploring these tools as a way of understanding how people operate and finding ways to leverage weaknesses into strengths. This perspective has transformed her personal and professional relationships, teaching her that sometimes what looks like a difficult placement "isn't a bug, it's a feature." She also spent 12 years in 4-H training and showing dogs, learning the crucial balance between "stern" professionalism and playful energy that's essential in marketing, plus the magic that happens when you and your partner are perfectly in sync.

Emily transitioned from Design and Development Coordinator to Account Coordinator because she discovered the power of client relationships and genuinely enjoys connecting with people to understand their needs and vision. Working with clients to find opportunities to better tell and share their stories excites her, and she wanted to improve and capitalize on her interpersonal skills while still finding creative outlets in her new role.

Her professional superpower lies in being incredibly personable and easy to get along with, bringing a light but professional feel to every client project while fostering true collaboration. As a self-described "Jill of all trades, master of none," she's always happy to step outside her comfort zone to learn new skills or acquire fresh expertise—an adaptability that proves invaluable in the ever-evolving marketing landscape.

Recently, Emily became a genuine hero for a nonprofit client when she solved the PayPal issues that had prevented them from receiving website donations for an entire year. After a few days of persistent troubleshooting and asking for help from colleagues, she finally cracked the code. Not only did they receive a major donation that had been sitting in limbo, but other donations started rolling in, too. The client's incredible gratitude reminded Emily why problem-solving for good causes feels so rewarding.

Emily's marketing philosophy centers on a fundamental truth: emotions are at the center of all marketing decisions. While people might see themselves as entirely logical, we're all much more emotionally driven than we'd like to admit. You might forget names, products, dates, or who was president, but you'll never forget how something made you feel.
