EPISODE 001Welcome to The Brand Bar
In the debut episode of The Brand Bar, hosts Katrina Jo and Jakiya Brown Thiaw sit down in New York to spill the tea on how their corporate to creative journeys inspired this new space for brand builders. From leading multimillion dollar campaigns with Hennessy and LVMH to scaling their own businesses, the duo gets real about what it takes to move from content creator to brand. They break down lessons from the inside, like how to charge your worth, play the long game in corporate, and turn your brand into an experience. Think cocktails, culture, and conversations that bridge the boardroom and the brand world. This is where strategy meets sisterhood.
