✨ MEET OUR NEW EDITOR - DENIZ ARTEMEL ✨
Born in Turkey and raised in D.C., Deniz brings a global perspective and over 25 years of experience in marketing, PR, and partnerships to her role at The Scout Guide. She’s not just a strategist—she’s a storyteller, a connector, and your biggest cheerleader.
“I first discovered The Scout Guide as a fan,” Deniz says. “I loved how it celebrated local businesses with such care and intention. It felt personal—like it really saw the people behind the work.”
Deniz is a natural champion of small businesses and creative entrepreneurs. She believes in building relationships first, and everything else follows. Her approach to marketing is fueled by heart, hustle, and a genuine desire to help others grow. “TSG is all about community—and I get to be a part of shining a light on the people who make this city so special.”
Deniz connects people with purpose—championing small businesses, building meaningful partnerships, and bringing heart, energy, and a genuine love for D.C. to everything she does.
Also worth noting: her world revolves around her family—they’re the center of it all. She loves being a fan, listening to The Dead, sipping icy wine (iykyk), and daydreaming about her favorite home away from home, Bodrum—some things never change.
We’re so excited for what’s ahead - Let’s build something beautiful together! Follow along as we share stories of the local businesses that make our city extraordinary.
