About Emily Freemond

With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, Emily Freemond is a visionary leader dedicated to liberating individuals and organizations to live authentically and purposefully. As the Founder and CEO of FreeMe Brands, she leads a constellation of ventures—including FreeMe Network, a network of freelancers, and two branding agencies, Believe Identity Group and The Culture Agency. She dedicates her career to transforming lives and organizations by empowering executives and changemakers to align their personal and professional lives with their core purpose so they can make a greater impact. FreeMe Brands does this for clients through strategic branding, internal culture development, scalability consulting, leadership training, and executive & changemaker impact coaching. Emily\'s professional journey began after graduating from Cornell University’s Hospitality Business program in 2002 with a degree in Design and Development and a minor in Marketing. Her diverse career spans interior design, event design, branding, and graphic design, which has equipped her with a multifaceted skill set that she applies to her current roles in her specialty niche—supporting multi-unit clients on both the Franchisee and Franchisor side, and changemaker personal and organizational brands. In 2014, Emily and her family relocated to Quito, Ecuador, where she spearheaded a non-religious ministry focused on empowering women. This led to moving to the beach to build a self-actualization, meditation retreat center to support people on their journeys toward reaching their full potential. Her experience deepened her commitment to social impact and personal development, influencing her later ventures. By 2018, Emily had established a network of freelancers across South America, leading to the founding of FreeMe Network in 2019. Through the branding agency, Believe Identity Group, the FreeMe Network supports changemaker individuals and organizations to expand the impact of their missions. At The Culture Agency, Emily leverages her expertise to support franchisee groups and entrepreneurs launching new franchiseable concepts in the restaurant, hospitality, and wellness industries. Her work focuses on building strong human-centered internal cultures for scalable growth, and turnkey prototype manuals to guide successful launches and duplications.
