In July of 1999, I ventured into entrepreneurship by launching a small marketing business. It started as Sykes Design - but quickly I discovered that while business owners are GREAT wrench turners (a term I used to describe knowing the nuts and bults of the service or products they offer), but often they were clueless in the space of branding and marketing. I kept explaining that for each project undertaken, we needed a goal, a purpose, a story that resonated... I explained that marketing and advertising were not brand-aids (see what I did there), but rather a journey from where they were to where they wanted to be. Hence the name my small agency became known as - AdJourney.
For 23 years I ran this small agency, but on July 1, 2022 - I pivoted the business to become an edu-focused business. At the same time, I launched HeadSpace Branding (Get the Story Straight + Gain Clarity ::: Brand Strategy + Brand Identity + Brand Marketing.) HeadSpace Branding provides clarity to CMO's and Leadership facing maligned messaging and stagnant growth due to a lack of clarity in their market purpose. We help brands internally and externally reposition for growth through strategic, verbal and visual brand clarity. Our core clients are U.S.-based companies generating at least $5-million in revenue. While centrally located in North Carolina, we work with clients across the globe. We're specialized in bringing clarity to your brand.
Since launching my first business over 2-decades ago, I have worked with hundreds of businesses and brands. I create effective strategies, memorable branding, targeted interactions and extraordinary storytelling to help BRANDS and Businesses connect with their ideal clients. If I can be a help to you and your business / brand - don't hesitate to reach out.
Finally, I jumped into the A.I. space in 2022, and decided to start providing a daily prompting lesson in LinkedIn. Follow me there for more insights around A.I. text2img generators and implementing A.I. into your business!
