OUR FOUNDER
I am called to empower the powerful
I started a consultant branding agency for the same reason my clients start their businesses: to change things for the better.
In more than 10 years in many roles, including director of marketing, I’ve launched everything from a television show to a city-wide cultural festival.
Safe to say, I know a thing or two about marketing. I’m also deeply empathetic to the stark realities of being a Black business owner.
Building a brand forces you to make tough choices about your identity. Too many minority-owned organizations feel pressured to spread themselves thin and squeeze into a mold they don’t fit, just to have a fighting chance.
CJL Consulting is the antidote to that pressure.
Here, we don’t shrink back. We become powerhouses that cannot be overlooked, diminished, or deprived of a voice.
Together, we rise.
TESTIMONIAL
We don’t do what the masses do.
“Candice is masterful at really helping you dig deep to get to the true differentiator behind your business, validating that hypothesis, and then articulating in a way that is simple yet powerful.
10 out 10 stars!”
