“After leading multiple communications teams in-house and for some of the world’s top firms, I’m proud to launch a different kind of agency to address the needs of the new American reality,” said Iveliesse Malavé. “There is growing demand for experienced storytellers that can help brands make meaningful connections,” she added.

“Now more than ever, it is critical to understand the cultural connections that bind us,” said Favila Budyszewick. “Culture extends far beyond language; it’s the understanding of the behaviors and beliefs that define a particular social, ethnic, or age group.  Our goal is to bridge that divide by helping clients connect with their target audience through a deep understanding of their wants and needs.”
