Emily A Laptad

I tell stories that make an impact. As a writer, editor, and content creator, I know the power words have in forming strong relationships with audiences and customers. 

​

One word, one sentence, or one paragraph can make all the difference, and that’s where my passion and expertise flourishes. I’ve built my career with diverse experiences in brand marketing and journalism. 

​

Along the way, I’ve discovered it’s my curiosity and the thread of learning new things—whether it's exploring a subject I’ve never written about, getting to know unique audiences, experimenting with writing and marketing techniques, or the ever-evolving digital tools at my disposal that can make my work more effective—that drives everything I do.

​

As a brand marketer, I’ve been a copywriter for T-Mobile’s in-house creative agency, T-Studios; I’ve worked with 30+ brands to raise customer awareness with full-length branded content articles; and I’ve developed social media strategies to build cohesive brands and drive audience engagement.

​

As a journalist, I’ve been the digital editor of a Kansas City lifestyle magazine and a B2B industry magazine, a staff writer for a Kansas City news magazine, and I’ve contributed to Kansas City’s NPR station and a local community newspaper. 

​

In my free time, I’m passionate about providing a voice and a platform for underrepresented communities through my blog, Catcall, which I co-manage with a consistent team of 8-10 writers, designers, and photographers.

I can’t wait to show you my work!
