About Our Founder and CEO
Emily Idleman, a highly accomplished professional in strategic communications and digital audience strategy, is the CEO and owner of Bold Communications. Her success results from her expertise and deep understanding of her client's unique challenges. This understanding, gained through her extensive background working with government agencies, non-profit organizations, and local businesses, allows her to develop tailored strategies that drive impactful results. Her ability to effectively navigate complex situations and her keen understanding of emerging trends have positioned her as a trusted advisor in the industry. Emily is not just a professional in strategic communications and digital audience strategy, she is a trailblazer. With a passion for excellence and a keen understanding of emerging digital trends, she is known for creating impactful campaigns that drive engagement and business growth. Her dedication to staying at the forefront of industry trends, constantly learning and adapting, makes her a sought-after professional in her field. Emily grew up in a small agricultural town, Dixon, off Highway 80. Trading one small town for another, Emily relocated to Cameron Park, California, where she has spent the last ten years raising her family and immersing herself in her community. Before opening Bold Communications in early 2022, Emily served the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office Investigations Unit. There, she was responsible for a myriad of duties, her favorites being a Public Information Assistant, Community Outreach Coordinator, and Intern Coordinator. It was there that Emily discovered her passion for public relations. Once Bold Communications opened its virtual doors, we have connected with clients all over the world. ​Emily is not just a professional, she is a member of the community. She is an active member of the Folsom Chamber of Commerce, El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association for Women Business Owners (NAWBO), advocating for women in business. Outside the office, Emily is a dedicated mother, often seen coaching youth sports teams or paddle boarding a nearby lake with her children. Emily also works on her passion project, digital media literacy, which she occasionally blogs about, and has begun teaching to local high school students.
