Elisa Boyd

Vice President, Board Member

Elisa Boyd is a digital marketing strategist with a passion for community-building and impact-driven storytelling. As Vice President of Orenda Society, she oversees digital communications, ensuring that Orenda’s mission reaches and resonates with the right audience through its website, newsletters, and online platforms.

Originally from Kimberley, BC, Elisa moved to Calgary to attend Mount Royal University, where she earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree with a major in General Management and a minor in International Marketing. After graduating, she spent a year traveling through Southeast Asia, expanding her global perspective before returning to Calgary to work in Oil and Gas Marketing. However, her entrepreneurial spirit led her to launch Juice Because, a cold-pressed juice company, where she transitioned from corporate life to running a thriving brick-and-mortar business for six years. After closing the shop, Elisa pivoted to the digital space, where she has spent the past five years helping businesses grow through innovative marketing strategies.

With a deep understanding of digital ecosystems, branding, and audience engagement, Elisa plays a crucial role in amplifying Orenda’s reach and fostering meaningful connections within the community. She believes that storytelling and technology are powerful tools for transformation and that digital marketing, when done with intention, can create lasting impact.

Outside of Orenda, Elisa is a dedicated mother to two girls, an avid reader, and a lover of creativity and the outdoors. Whether she’s building digital strategies, spending time with family, or exploring new ideas, she is driven by a core philosophy: growth happens when people are given the tools and space to thrive.

She envisions a future where personal and collective transformation is accessible to all and hopes to continue using her expertise to bridge the gap between mission-driven organizations and the communities they serve.

Four Thigs You Might Not Know About Me

What's your favourite season and why?

I’m a Fall girly through and through. The crisp air, cozy layers, warm drinks, and the feeling of fresh starts make it my favourite season. Plus, nothing beats the energy shift when summer winds down, and life feels a little more structured again.
Name five things you love.

Crisp autumn mornings with coffee in hand
The feeling of a perfectly planned and executed marketing strategy ;)
Spending time outdoors, especially in the mountains or by water
Reading a good book with a blanket and a candle burning
Slow moments with my family—weekend breakfasts, bedtime stories, and spontaneous adventures with my two girls
Describe a small, everyday moment that brings you joy.

The first sip of coffee in the morning before the day officially begins—when everything is still quiet, and I can take a deep breath before diving into work, motherhood, and everything in between.
What's a personal goal you hope to achieve in the next year?

To refine my business systems and funnels so that I have more time to focus on what truly lights me up—whether that’s creative projects, consulting, or just being more present with my family.
