hello...
I'm Emily Lauren Dick, a multi-passionate creative marketer, published author, and idea generator, otherwise known as THE Queen of Bootstrapping.
I know how it feels to have so many passions and an incredible drive to build something meaningful.
But I also know how it feels to be burnt out and overwhelmed because you think you have to do it all on your own.
With my background in marketing and a wild array of entrepreneurial ventures, I'm on a mission to fuel your business with marketing magic and captivating content.


I also launched and ran…
A catering business
A photography studio
A photography backdrop company
A t-shirt business
A retreat company
A SEL app + business
A hybrid publishing company
A women’s coaching business
I've also had these job titles...
Freelance photographer
Freelance copywriter
Freelance content creator
Freelance website designer
Course creator
Program coordinator
Eating disorder group facilitator
Traditionally published author
Podcast host and workshop speaker
How I got here...
While working full time for 10+ years in marketing
And through many of these jobs, I was also a busy full-time mom.

I've always had many passions but wasn’t always sure where I wanted to focus this energy. By having all of these incredible working experiences, I was able to figure out that I was most passionate about the creative side of business marketing.
And that’s what led me to YOU!
My superpower is being multi-passionate, and so is having an extensive and practical background that can help you in your business.
In addition to my professional experience, I have a passion for helping women thrive, so naturally I had to combine these passions and do what I love most - helping women and supporting small businesses.
I have done it all. Quite literally.
You're here because you need a "she gets me" moment.
I get it.
So let's embark on this exciting journey together and make your brand shine!
My Superpower...
Commitment to Inclusion
The Bootstrapped woman believes in inclusion and equity for all. I am most happy to work with women from diverse and marginalized backgrounds of all kinds. If you have a women-led business and you want ethical marketing - I want to work with you.
What Ethical Marketing Means to Me:
Authenticity: Partnering with businesses that provide genuine value to consumers and want to make a positive difference in the world.
Honesty: Being honest in our promotional content, not making false claims, or overhyping benefits.
Inclusivity: Making marketing more inclusive by representing all body types and identities, and by ending the use of harmful stereotypes and language in marketing.
Positivity: Spreading joy through beautiful branding and creative content. Engaging the senses, representing a full range of human emotion, and lived experience, and uplifting everyone through realistic and positive messaging.
I believe that financial wealth will provide women with the power they need to change the world for the better.
