​

Ahh, the age-old question: what comes first, the community or the brand?

​

After wrapping up my final MBA courses, I thought I had the answer. However, after founding my own eCommerce brand as a passion project, I realized I was wrong. Neither the community or brand come first, the consumer does.  

​

Modern digital entrepreneurs are struggling to effectively conceptualize, build, and monetize their brands via traditional social platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The majority of digitally native brands being created today are focused too much on community and brand and have lost focus on the most important aspect of building a business: providing value! There's no point in creating a brand, product, or service if you can't deliver on providing real value for consumers.  

​

In 2019, I left my job at Facebook in the Business and Ads growth team to help solve this program. At the panther agency, we focus first on crafting, understanding and targeting your ideal consumer, then fine-tuning and developing a community and brand.  Our approach is unique, innovative, and aggressive, but we always focus on the most important part of your business: the consumer.
