Juanita Rosenior is a marketeer with over 10 years experience in the industry. A former journalist, Juanita has combined her passion for communication and the black community to ceate Afrobase, a marketing company driven to support black British businesses. 'Afrobase began with a simple conversation between myself and an author outside the theatre in Sloane Square' recounts Juanita. 'I was 19 and it was the first time I had seen that some black brands were receiving disproportionate marketing representation in the mainstream as oppose to other brands. That conversation truly reminds me how the power of words can affect someone's life. In that moment I decided to build a brand that would never allow these scenarios to happen' Ten years later, Afrobase was finally born and started it's legacy working with exciting established and flourishing black brands. 'Starting a business is not easy but I feel God has always had my back as my very first Monday of being self employed I received an unexpected call asking me to become a resident writer for a PR agency and the rest, as they say, is history.' Afrobase is a brand to watch as it continues to earn its stripes. 'The brand - while it support black business - is about inclusion. One of our mantras is 'Get Black British Businesses Seen' not only by our peers but the world. We also work with brands interested in reaching this particular audience.' This campaign includes a number of initiatives including black business magazine, #ThePortfolio which profiles the best black businesses and individuals from the lifestyle and entertainment industries.
