Growth & Niche Markets

We connect brands to multicultural and millennial communities. We also connect faith based organizations and social impact businesses to broader audiences. We are very successful in creating custom communities and networks. When these audiences feel connected to each other in addition to the brand, they are more likely to develop stronger relationships with the brand itself.

We know how they think, where they are, and how they want to be spoken to. We provide clients with our proprietary insights and analytics for these communities. Our methodologies in mining these networks make for prosperous connections.

Lifestyle & Brand Marketing

We can assist you in forming your unique brand identity. Everything a company does should ladder up to its identity. This service includes brand messaging as well as how and where you speak to your target consumers/audiences.

For brand management, we can advise on analysis and planning on how your brand is positioned in the market, which target audience your brand is targeted at, and maintaining a desired reputation of your brand. Developing a good relationship with target audiences is essential for brand management. The intangible elements are the experience that the consumer takes away from the brand, and also the relationship that they have with it.

Media & Public Relations

We work with media with the objective of informing the public of an organization's mission, policies and practices in a favorable, consistent and credible manner. The goal of media relations is to maximize positive coverage in the mass media without paying for it directly.

We create, enhance, develop and manage relationships with journalists to procure and secure key placement in the media to take our clients public.
