I'm a serial entrepreneur with a focus on community building, social media, and digital marketing. An educator at heart, I'm an award-winning keynote speaker and love sharing my expertise at conferences, events, and by teaching courses, with 15+ years of experience delivering engaging talks both online and offline. (Emilymiethner.Com/speaking) In 2017 I co-founded Travel Cat (travelcatshop.com), the #1 cat travel brand in the world. We’re a profitable, fast-growing, 7-figure brand serving catstomers in 100+ countries and sold in 500+ retail locations worldwide. I oversee influencer marketing, SMS and email marketing, organic digital content, retail, product development, licensing, and partnerships. In 2021 I founded a short term rental brand in the Catskills/Hudson Valley, getawayupstate.com.
