Hire the Best Brand Managers in Illinois

Hi! I'm CJ, I use cultural insights, strategy, and storytelling to help founders build brands. ⭐ Creative strategy and Content work for Google, Spotify, Airbnb, and Diageo ⭐ Google's Black-Owned Friday — 5.1M+ YouTube views, 500K+ social engagements ⭐ Naming, Messaging, and Content strategy for Seed and Series A founders ✅ What I Deliver: ▪ Brand Strategy & Positioning ▪ Brand Narrative, Verbal Identity and Brand Voice ▪ Naming & Messaging ▪ Copywriting and Scriptwriting ▪ Content Strategy & Production ▪ Investor-Ready Brand Identity ▪ Brand Audit and Strategic Recommendations ▪ Go-to-Market Messaging ▪ Ongoing Creative Partnership ✅ What Makes My Process Different: Most brand work starts with aesthetics. Mine starts with people. How they think, what they believe, and why certain ideas stop them mid-scroll. My background in cultural research means I don't guess at what your audience wants. I study it. Every strategy, every name, every piece of content is built on that foundation. Not mood boards. Not instinct dressed up as insight. Work that's emotionally resonant because it's rooted in something real. ✅ Industries: Beauty & Lifestyle, Tech, Consumer Goods, Food & Beverage, Apparel, CPG, Fitness, and Event Planning. ✅ How I Work: Every project starts with a conversation and a lot of questions. I send a tailored questionnaire to understand your business, your audience, and what you're really trying to build. Strategy comes before any creative execution, so every decision has a reason behind it. My process is structured and async, but never cold. Genuine curiosity about the brands I work with is what makes the work good. You get documented strategy you can build on long after we're done. Not ideas that disappear after a meeting. If you need brand strategy that creates real differentiation, naming and messaging that holds up, or content that converts, let's talk!

I have 15+ years experience designing and leading creative initiatives including logo design and branding, web design, direct mail, brochures, infographics, collateral, sales materials, print and online advertising, landing pages, and much more. I add creative value to even the smallest, quickest of initiatives and I’m very comfortable juggling multiple projects and quick turn-arounds.

For 18+ years, I’ve built brands that win hearts and drive results—sparking bold launches for scrappy startups and orchestrating quiet reinventions for billion-dollar giants. - Brand strategy that defines the landscape, customer, trends, and your company’s place in all of it. - Brand identities that consistently and efficiently translate to websites, packaging, environments, marketing and beyond. - Ads that break through the clutter and drive action. - Content that strengthens connections with your customers.

Ready to make some killer content?! With over 7 years of marketing experience, I’ve worked with a wide variety of brands from indie skincare lines and ticketed event experiences to major players in the automotive and telecommunications space. In my "day job," I’m an Paid Ads Creative Manager, where I design and strategized paid ads that generate over $27 million dollars in revenue - and at a great ROAS too! I earned my BBA in Marketing from Loyola University Chicago — so I bring a strategic mindset to every project. My communication style: Fast, Collaborative and straight forward. I look forward to partnering with you!
