Victoria Reese Co-Founder and CEO We Are ILL |
|
With impressive entertainment and advertising experience under her belt, paired with an innate talent for branding, Victoria Marie Reese is on a mission to curate an authentic brand experience, tailored to her clients’ needs. Within three years of forming her company, the Brand Architect, she built a portfolio of industry giants like Nike, Toyota, and Unilever, as well as ordinary people who “trust [her] to cultivate their ideas and turn them into reality.” Victoria has been laying the pavement for her success since Howard University and has since achieved and even surpassed her goals. In 2015, before her company, the Brand Architect, turned 2, she was featured in Black Enterprise magazine, garnered national recognition for her MS campaign, #WeAreILLmatic on social media, and successfully launched BAUS, an online store that ignites and empowers its customers to pursue their passions. Victoria’s gift of storytelling doesn’t end in the digital landscape, though. Not only has she hosted sold-out webinars, but she has also carved out space as a sought-after motivational speaker, showing the world how being a “victor” has shaped her success. It’s her keen eye for detail that makes Victoria an in-demand asset to people and brands and her go-hard attitude that makes her a mascot for resilience. As a Black woman with MS, she shows up for her community, aiming to bring more representation to research, advocacy, and education surrounding this chronic disease.
