Meet Mykala

Creative Brand Strategist and Writer with over a decade of experience translating cultural insights into business growth and cultural impact.

When culture meets strategy,
stories become impact.

As a Creative Brand Strategist and Writer based in Brooklyn, NY I bring over a decade of branding and communications experience—shaping strategy for global brands including JPMorganChase, Nike, Google, American Express, REFORM Alliance, and Cedars-Sinai, as well as small businesses and non-profits in Richmond, VA and New York.

Approaching my work with a playful curiosity, I pair data-driven insights with contextual storytelling that drives business solutions and builds drivers of culture across a range of creative and organizational challenges. Currently I am a Senior Creative Strategist at On Board Experiential and previously held strategy roles in design, branding, and advertising at Sylvain and Droga5.

Outside of my role as a Strategist I’m a cultural writer passionate about mental health, lifestyle, wellbeing, and aspire to continue advancing the pathways of Black creatives through the advocacy of higher education and early career advancement.
