Why a World-Class Marketer Stopped Hiding Her Work - Emily Hickey of Chief Detective

​For years, Emily Hickey did exceptional work—serving as a CEO advisor, fractional CMO, brand architect, and board member for companies including Jenni Kayne, Frank & Eileen, Ursa Major, and Goop—without talking much about it publicly. In this interview, she explains why she changed that: what embracing visibility actually looked like, how she learned to share her thinking without turning it into self-promotion, and why “thought leadership” works best when it’s grounded in real work. A conversation for people who want to be seen without becoming something they’re not.
