The Art of Impact

At The Belmont Agency Inc. (TBA), our vision is to shape and scale a vision of global Black culture and creativity as the epitome of premium luxury and style.

Founded by Marleisse Stephens, a visionary Jamaican-Canadian marketer, we leverage our cultural intuition and fearless provocation to challenge status quo through bold, authentic brand storytelling. TBA empowers imaginative partnerships that generate creative capital, especially for communities of color. We collaborate with forward-thinking brands and partners to build cultural moments that spark joy, discourse and positive change.

Our niche is operating as both advisors and incubators - sparking fresh narratives for clients while building our own ecosystem of socially impactful music, media and hospitality ventures. At our core, TBA believes creativity catalyzes meaningful change. We aim to propagate creative agency by helping visionaries self-actualize their potential.

Our founder's purpose is "to shape and scale a vision of global culture through marketing intuition that challenges the status quo and promotes creative capital." This manifests through our values:

Audacious Creativity

We approach projects and partnerships without limitation, embracing imaginative cultural storytelling. Our team nurtures ingenious ideas that provoke, inspire and progress.

Fearless Authenticity

We honor the richness, complexity and humanity within global Black identities, experiences and aesthetics. Our focus is crafting narratives that challenge stereotypes through authentic empowerment.

Bold Alchemy

We fuse the global with the local, the modern with the traditional, and luxury with purpose. These alchemical partnerships organically bridge communities and pass the mic to unheard voices.

Careful Curation

Our niche position allows us to be highly selective about how we direct our creative capital. We only partner with those aligned in values to our social impact vision.

Holistic Sustainability

We believe in generating prosperity through creativity with care for people and planet. Our incubator ventures focus on ethical business models that uplift communities.

At present, our service portfolio includes:

1) Brand & Strategic Marketing Consulting: We offer brand management, positioning, identity-building and integrated strategy services for select clients. Our niche focus allows for highly customized engagements.

2) Creative Direction & Design: Our in-house team provides creative direction, production and design across visual media, experiences, partnerships and collaborations.

3) Talent Management & Representation: Launching in 2024, we will represent a small roster of artists and creative thought-leaders across fields from fine art, music to fashion with the aim to amplify Black art in the luxury consumer industries.

Looking ahead, as we scale our hybrid model, our goal is to build an ecosystem of ethical creative enterprises that generate new models of economic mobility and agency. At TBA, we measure our success by the joy sparked, minds expanded and lives enriched by meaningful storytelling and human-centered innovation. We would love your partnership on this audacious and urgent journey.

Let's reimagine our culture together.
