On June 19, 2018, my company entered the next chapter of its story. The next day, we honored the succession of a co-founder.
This week has been nothing short of motivating.
Not only did my company launch it’s new corporate brand identity on Juneteenth — we honored the succession of one of our greatest visionaries, Jonathan D. Jackson. It’s an incredible feeling to gift this work to Jon as a summation and continuation of his legacy as Corporate Brand Lead.
More than ever, I’m realizing it’s important for me, for US, to share our work and collective story early and often. Perfection is not progress. Progress is progress. While spearheading the internal initiative alongside our Editorial and Business Development teams, I witnessed firsthand our deep commitment to growth as an organization. I can’t even begin to express how proud of I am of not just the work we produced but the process we underwent together to do it.
We are a team that is as diverse as the audience we serve, working relentlessly from cities and countries around the world to disrupt and reclaim our narratives.
