Chelsea Moser

As the Founder and CEO of Solamar Marketing Agency and also Co-Founder of Events without Borders, Chelsea Moser knows what it takes to build and maintain two successful and profitable businesses—all while passionately cultivating long-lasting relationships in business and in life.

Chelsea started Solamar Marketing Agency in 2006 and over the years she’s been able to turn this small marketing agency into a passionate team of marketing consultants, event professionals, account managers and design specialists that service and support Solamar clients all over the world. Solamar currently has a client list the size of the Pacific Ocean, which keeps the team constantly creating and innovating each and every day.

Chelsea also Co-Founded Events without Borders in 2010—a live streaming company that enables events to be seen and heard all over the world using advanced streaming technology. Chelsea looks at it as “green technology” to allow people to be easier on their carbon foot print, yet not miss out on an opportunity to attend a meeting or event. This technology can stream to countries all over the word. Whenever. Wherever. EWB is there.

Not only is Chelsea a passionate workaholic but also she is equally passionate about the success of organizations that make a difference while creating a positive impact each and every day. Chelsea is the Social Media Director at Best Day Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to helping special needs children enjoy water sports and other outdoor activities.

So when she’s not lovingly hard at work—or jet setting from one coast to the other – she toggles between her home in Alabama and a beach house in Florida. She adores spending time with her family and dedicates time to flying back home to North Dakota where she was born and raised.
