Ellen Doty’s Biography
Ellen Doty is a digital marketing and social media consultant with the expertise that has provided a variety of businesses an increase to their bottom line. From concert venues throughout Canada including Hugh’s Room in Toronto, and The Arden Theatre in St. Albert to shopping malls, restaurant chains, and hair salons, Ellen offers effective tools that can help improve your overall digital marketing strategy. Born in Okotoks, Alberta, the multi-talented Ellen is also a recording and touring artist with her most recent album being released on the Universal Music label debuting at #1 on the iTunes jazz charts. As you can well imagine, social media advertising has been a key component in the success of her numerous tours.

“Before Ellen, we had social media, but not engagement. Within a few posts, Ellen, had our Fans and Followers, chatting about special moments at The Arden, their favourite music, and why the performing arts are so important. A relatively small marketing budget suddenly reached further with measurable results at the box office. Ellen not only engaged our audience, she found ways to get our employees and volunteers involved and recognized. Our Instagram went from a billboard, to a beautiful, well articulated, scrapbook; capturing everything that makes Performing Arts in our community important and special.”
– Elizabeth Wilkie, Cultural Facilities Manager, The Arden Theatre.
