Hi, welcome to Bentway Bee Marketing.
I'm Emily.
Mom of two boys, native North Carolinian, coffee lover, Queen of Nostalgia, and proud geriatric millennial.
I'm so glad you're here!


Just like you, I've always had that entrepreneurial spirit.
From selling Girl Scout cookies and running yard sales as a kid, to cleaning houses at 12 while my neighbor taught art classes, I was always hustling.
In college, I leaned into that same drive, working as an advertising executive at the student newspaper, constantly curious about what makes people stop, notice, and engage.
Since 2005, I’ve been working alongside passionate local small business owners, people who pour their heart into their craft, and I’ve made it my mission to help them get seen, trusted, and chosen by more customers.
After 20 years as a successful, six-figure sales and marketing executive across industries like media, automotive, and luxury retail, I launched Bentway Bee Marketing.
My goal is simple: help small businesses turn digital visibility into real-world growth with fuller calendars, steadier sales, stronger community ties.
When I’m not coaching or creating marketing strategies, you’ll likely find me cheering on my boys at their sports games, enjoying the North Carolina mountains or the beautiful NC coast, drinking a cup of hot coffee (maybe a Diet Coke) or heading out for a long run.
XOXO,
Emily
