Meet the Founder

Emily Markus

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

I’ve always been drawn to 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 what I was meant to do.

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

That’s how Golden Coast Media came to life. Named after California, the place that taught me to dream big and take risks.

I’ve partnered with brands across CPG, wellness, lifestyle, sports, entertainment, and more, helping them grow online communities that actually mean something. Whether it’s crafting content, building a viral moment, or launching a brand from the ground up, I’m all in.

In my free time, you can find me catching sunsets with my golden retriever, Beckham, scrolling TikTok for “research purposes,” or watching sports.
