Vivian Olodun’s, marketing agency helps mini moguls grow from a commodity to a brand so that they can demand top dollar for their services and have more leverage in their industry. Vivian has 18 years in marketing with a long list of partnerships, including Capital One Bank, Samsung, FedEx, Harvested Focus, Alacran Foundation, The Bit Group, and a collision of small businesses and organizations she affectionately calls "The Tribe."
The greatest asset I have to give is the knowledge I've acquired working with and for billionaires. I want more business owners to have an opportunity to thrive in any industry truly.
Vivian's published work is an interactive journal called Stumbling Through Adulthood, an interactive journal for failing forward. The work is a collection of short stories that are funny, raunchy, and full of drama for readers trying to make sense of failure as they also navigate the journey into "adulthood."
Unapologetically Black, she doesn't hide her Afro-Latino & Nigerian heritage. Vivian candidly jokes about her position as an advisor to thought leaders while facing the fact that she is often the only brown girl in the room. She is professional and witty, bravely pulling back the curtain to show that if she can do it, so can you!
Vivian is married with a toddler and another little one of the way. She recently launched a self-study marketing group program for emerging brands called THE GROVE. Her private Facebook group is growing exponentially since the pandemic as high-frequency women business owners seek out online communities that look like them. Reach out and become part of “The Tribe.”
