ABOUT ME

Vision-Driven. Strategy-Led. Entrepreneur at Heart.

I’m Kacy Carlsen

—serial entrepreneur, digital marketing expert, business advisor, and transformation strategist.

I’ve been building businesses from scratch since the dial-up days—literally. My career started in 1997, long before “online business” was trending. What began as a one-woman web design hustle turned into a full-scale web hosting company, which I grew and sold before most people knew what a domain name was.

Since then, I’ve launched and scaled multiple businesses across digital marketing, branding, AI innovation, and business mentorship.

I’ve worked with thousands of small business owners, service pros, local brands, and CEOs to grow their visibility, create stronger systems, and build brands that actually stand out—and stand for something.

WHAT I DO NOW

Through my brands—Kacy Carlsen Media, Digital Dynamo™, UpDog™, and She’s An Icon™—I help ambitious entrepreneurs like you turn their vision into a clear, scalable strategy. Whether it’s building a high-converting website, automating your lead generation, elevating your personal brand, or unlocking the next-level version of your business, I bring equal parts clarity and creativity to every project.

I’m not just here to give you ideas. I’m here to help you implement them—with a no-fluff, results-first mindset and decades of real-world experience behind every decision.

THE THROUGH LINE?

No matter which business I’m building or who I’m mentoring, it always comes back to this:

Strong identity. Solid strategy. Scalable execution.

Because whether you’re running a service business, a personal brand, or an entire empire—clarity + momentum are what keep you growing.
