Tremayne Tatem
Consultant and Small Business Owner in Allentown, Pennsylvania
I’ve been in media and advertising my whole career.
I spent the early part of my career managing advertising programs in 5 airports across the country.
But when September 11th happened. Everyone stopped traveling. And I was forced to change my career path.
The next decade I would be working as a senior educational consultant for the Wall Street Journal. Started at zero. Made them a lot of money. And won some awards in my time there. But still wasn’t satisfied.
Life happened. And I ventured out on my own.
Over the last five years, I have been contracted by domestic and international companies to use my skill set to develop audiences via documentary films, insight journalism, and business development.
In 2015, I even helped YouTube creators manage their channels to help them "blow up"!
Now, I start a new chapter in my life. Entrepreneur.
With my background in media and advertising, I knew the landscape was changing in America. Inspired by the success of email newsletters, such as Daily Candy, Thrillist, Refinery29, and most recently TheSkimm.
I ventured out to develop an email newsletter product that would activate this “new mainstream” that was not being addressed.
One month into business a friend of mine encouraged me to enter a business competition.
We ended up finalist. Won office space at WeWork-NYC. Now we are in the process of raising funds, and building a founding team so that we can scale up our audience. And build a company that matters.
