Emma Harrison
ASSOCIATE
Emma Harrison marries her experience in public affairs with her skills in public relations, media relations, digital engagement and visual communication to tell clients’ stories of impact and identify creative solutions to complex issues.
Emma takes an objective-driven approach to communications and public-affairs campaigns, first identifying target audiences and measurable goals, then strategically employing tactics to meet stakeholders where they are. She believes in the inclusiveness and accessibility of digital communications and has guided strategy and managed tactical execution of organic and paid social, search and email marketing campaigns for government, health care, education, non-profit and corporate clients.
Prior to joining GBSM, Emma led digital strategies and engagement for a public affairs firm in Chicago. Her work experience in coalition building and community engagement advanced state funding for people with disabilities, mobilized health-care advocates on behalf of stage IV cancer patients and encouraged ridership on one of the nation’s largest transit systems that was decimated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Emma holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism with a specialization in visual communication from Indiana University. A Midwest transplant, Emma enjoys exploring mountain towns, discovering new hikes and running along the Cherry Creek Trail.
