Meet the Jackie of All Trades

My name is Jacqueline Ikem, but you can call me Jackie.

Throughout my life, I've always known my purpose is storytelling, but my fear of public speaking made me feel like an imposter. When you’re Nigerian-American, the youngest of four and highly expressive, you’re often labeled as a crybaby and not allowed to have an opinion. However, I learned that being outspoken and vulnerable is my superpower.

Choosing the path of brand strategy feels like speaking up for someone who has a story to tell the world, but doesn’t know where to start.

My nonverbal autistic brother has taught me to never take my abilities for granted and to always speak from my heart. I'm pursuing a future where I can use my creativity and logic to guide brands and small business owners on the right path.

Follow me on my journey as a strategist as I share my talents and offer services in areas of brand strategy, content creation and copywriting.


  • My top 3 goals as a strategist are to create ...

  • Strategies that foster awareness and will inspire solutions for global issues.

  • Solutions that produce user friendly experiences and improve our overall quality of life.

  • ideas that unite and provoke a higher level of understanding and compassion.

"I've grown to be highly compassionate yet solution oriented, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of brands, but also realizing that potential is nothing without execution."

  • But, I’m more than a strategist

    Here are four things that inspire me creatively in my personal life

  • Balloon Decorating

    To connect with my inner child, I started balloon decorating. Living In Miami and being hurricane season baby (August 25 !) made it hard to celebrate my birthday. However, even when celebrating seemed impossible, my family always made sure I had a cake and balloons. Now I find happiness providing balloons for others.

  • Hosting Intimate & creative Events

    My first event turned out even better than I imagined. It was an all-girl’s gathering that focused on how neglecting our mental health can manifest in our physical health. We did things like create affirmation boards, painted ourselves back into our childhood and even did a mini yoga session. It was beautiful.

  • inspirational content Writer

    I love to write ! it reminds me of the importance of communication in strategy as well as romantically and creatively. Communication in all forms helps me navigate life better. There’s some much in what we say and in what we don’t.

  • Podcaster

    I started my own podcast! I refused to let the pandemic silence me and drive me into depression. I needed an outlet for me, but it turned into a platform for all..
