Lindsey Dempsey
Lindsey Dempsey is the Founder of BWOPT!, a Scottsdale resident and owner of Elite Market Savvy Digital Marketing. Founded in 2015, Elite Market Savvy provides Marketing support to business in the Valley and sees the daily challenges small business owners face.
Throughout her 20 year career, Lindsey has been on the ground floor of building communities within Arizona. As the Senior Community Director for Yelp Phoenix, Lindsey connected the original “influencers” of Arizona with local businesses through the planning and execution of experiential events that provided a unique and memorable experience of the business. Lindsey has done everything from securing fireworks and hot hair balloons at her parties, to creating the world’s largest Snack Stadium and hosting private events within the ESPN Zone during Super Bowl 49 (just to name a few!). Lindsey prides herself in thinking outside of the box, and uses this passion to connect the community with businesses through one-of-kind moments.
Lindsey is a Mom of two girls and started Elite Market Savvy in 2015 after the birth of her first daughter. Since then, she has spent the years being both a Mom and an Entrepreneur, and knows how important it is to have a community of like-minded individuals who support you through friendship, brainstorming, compassion and networking. It's not easy being a parent and an entrepreneur and there is a lot of stress we carry to do both. Your dedication to our community is so vital and we need to support business owners every way we can!
