Emily Steele

I'm Emily, CEO and cofounder of Hummingbirds, a platform connecting everyday creators to CPG brands that need to drive product discovery at the shelf level. We've built a network of over 30,000 creators across 40+ cities, making Hummingbirds the go-to for local retail awareness campaigns. Before this, I ran Love Local, hosted a podcast, and grew FemCity Des Moines from 5 to 500 members in a single year through community-led marketing. Ask me about building creator networks, local marketing for CPG brands, and growing communities from scratch.
