In short, brand strategy is a long-term plan, a business or person uses to achieve predefined brand goals.

Dominique Zonyeé

CEO | FOUNDER

Harlem, NY. Apartment 1A. Where my brand journey began.

A seasoned journalist, copywriter, producer, and lifetime creative navigating through the concrete jungle was humbling. The determination and resilience of hustlers, go-getters, strivers, and survivors in pursuit of identity and purpose in the big city always inspired me.

Driven by my passion for storytelling and infatuation with brand architecture I created Apartment 1A for disrupters, fire starters, game-changers, rockstars and innovative underdogs looking to shift the narrative and leverage change and inclusivity in any industry.

With Apartment 1A, I’m on a mission to educate business owners, startups and entrepreneurs on the power of branding. My goal is to build genuine connections between brands and the people that fuel them.
