Meet the Founder

Emily Markus

Hi, I’m Emily — founder of Golden Coast Media.

I’ve always been obsessed with the power of storytelling, the kind that makes people stop scrolling, double-tap, and actually remember your brand. I studied broadcast journalism and public relations at the University of Miami, but it wasn’t until I started growing brands online that I realized this was my calling.

Early on, I took an account from 0 to 58,000 organic followers in just six months, with a 21% engagement rate. That’s when it hit me: I had a knack for creating content people actually care about. I knew I could do this not just for one brand, but for many.

And so, Golden Coast Media was born. Named after California, the place where I learned to dream big,take risks, and and create something from nothing. It’s more than a name; it’s a reminder that the best things happen when creativity meets courage.

Since then, I’ve partnered with brands across CPG, wellness, lifestyle, sports, and entertainment, helping them grow online communities that mean something. Whether it’s crafting content, building a viral campaign, or launching a brand from the ground up, I’m all in. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing creativity turn into connection, and connection turn into results.

I’m equal parts strategist and storyteller, with just enough caffeine and California sunshine to make big things happen.

When I’m not creating content, you can find me catching sunsets with my golden retriever, Beckham, scrolling TikTok for “research purposes,” or watching sports.
