Of the 22,000 ad agencies in North America, less than one percent are women owned, according to Own It. I founded The Miller Group, a woman-owned, culturally diverse digital ad/branding agency in 1990, when less than a handful of women-owned ad agencies existed in California.I have constantly transitioned the business to meet the needs of clients looking to make a difference. A purpose-driven, multicultural ad/branding agency, The Miller Group works with many challenger brands and nonprofits seeking to get the word out in an already crowded space. Our rallying cry is “make some noise.”In the past, I have been named one of the top 75 women-owned businesses in Los Angeles by the LA Business Journal. And featured in Adweek, Brandweek, Ad Age, Entrepreneur, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Marketing Sherpa and dozens of other publications. I have guest lectured at UCLA, USC, UC-Irvine, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount University, Cal State University, Northridge and The Ohio State University. Additionally, I have won dozens of creative awards include One Club Gold pencils, ADDY, Communication Arts and NY Art Directors. I am actively involved with community service, as a member of CCLA (Conscious Capitalism, LA Chapter) and Resilient Palisades (a local non profit addressing the climate and ecological crisis). I have participated in Youth Business Alliance - an organization bringing business skills into low-income high school classrooms - since its inception in 2012. And I was a member of Father Greg Boyle’s “Jobs For the Future” task force in the mid 90s, helping create educational and employment opportunities for at-risk youth. I mentor through WoMentoring – a career development program for women through JVS, and have been an ongoing mentor and judge for the One Club’s Creative Boot in Los Angeles.
