Who is Bright Holler?

Emma Palmer

Emma believes deeply that stories have the power to open minds, soften hearts, and make something true feel real to someone who might otherwise never encounter it.

She's spent her career learning how to help others tell the stories that matter most to them, and how to do them justice. She has built communities & movements around brands and ideas, creating podcasts, live events & retreats, music, and film. She is currently in production on her first feature-length documentary.

Bright Holler exists for brands & organizations whose stories are too important to be told halfway. As Executive Producer and Creative Director, Emma sets strategy, holds every client relationship, and directs creative from concept through final cut.
