I'm a brand and creative strategist by trade, challenger and rainmaker by nature, working with the next generation of legacy builders.I've spent the past ~18 years shaping brands of all sizes, industries and life stages in need of a fresh perspective and creative orchestration.In 2016, while 2 months pregnant, I launched Young & Co., a new-age creative branding partner for building 'sticky' brands backed with strategic storytelling, leveraging our network of young & talented creatives.My eclectic past prior to entrepreneurial life has more twists and turns than a Netflix series, from market research for iconic retailers like Nike and Target, copywriting for the eternal optimists at UCLA, disrupting the education world at General Assembly, crafting engaging stories for brand-owned media at EQAL (now Everyday Health), to years logged in the scrappy startup world and creative trenches as a contributing editor/writer/stylist in luxury media, I have a deep seated understanding of effective brand building and storytelling.In my spare time, I dabble in improv, mentor young budding entrepreneurs, advise non-profit orgs whose missions speak to my heart, and keynote for audiences who can benefit from my unconventional perspective.Here's what some of my clients have said about working with me: "Robyn is a brand and marketing genius! Her approach has elevated our company and has given us an amazing new brand that we are extremely proud of.”– Jacob Dunn, Founder, Sow Eden Organics“Working with Young & Co. really helped us crystallize our positioning and set us on a path for strategic customer growth.” - Cate Khan, CSO & Co-Founder, Verishop"We needed someone to extract the feelings we had around our brand - challenge them, push back, ask questions - and mold that coal into a diamond and that's what Robyn and her team do. The structure of the session helped create consensus from the team which was incredibly helpful and invaluable. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to do this type of work." Ashly Knox, CMO, Henson "Young & Co is an amazing team of experts who understood our needs, deeply invested themselves in the process, and truly collaborated. That is critical when you work on a rebrand." - Slavik Volinsky, Sr. Marketing Manager, Milady/Cengage GroupSchedule an intro call with my team: thisisyoung.co/contact
