Em Tonkinson-Sharp

Em Tonkinson-Sharp (they/them) is a Marketing Coordinator with a passion for creating meaningful connections through the arts. Born and raised in the North East, Em’s work is shaped by their lived experiences as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and their drive to amplify underrepresented voices.

With a background in marketing, communications, and design, Em has worked and collaborated with organisations such as Curious Arts, Goldsmiths University Students’ Union, and the Trans Creative Collective. They believe marketing is a powerful tool for storytelling and creating change, especially when it’s inclusive, accessible, and community-centered.

In addition to their work with Company of Others, Em is a freelance designer and DJ, hosting a monthly residency on Slacks Radio. A long-time lover of dance and theatre, Em finds joy in movement-based art that conveys raw, authentic experiences.

When they’re not crafting campaigns or spinning records, Em enjoys discovering new ways to support artists, cooking up creative ideas, and championing inclusion in the arts sector.
