In this episode of Founders Future, host Jae Encarnacion sits down with Junae Brown, founder and CEO of Brown to Perfection Agency, to explore her journey from major record labels to building a powerhouse marketing agency. Junae shares how her early career at Columbia and RCA Records—working with icons like Chris Brown and Aretha Franklin—inspired her to launch an agency that blends corporate strategy with cultural authenticity. With a focus on empowering women of color and Gen Z creatives, Brown to Perfection has evolved into a full-service impact agency, offering everything from digital content strategy to experiential marketing for brands, artists, and nonprofits.

Junae dives into her vision for scaling the agency, emphasizing the importance of refining core offerings (like brand strategy and experiential campaigns) while leveraging AI to enhance creativity—not replace it. She also opens up about the challenges of founder-led sales, her plans to build a sales engine, and her bold long-term goal: transitioning Brown to Perfection into a venture capital firm that solves both marketing and funding gaps for underrepresented entrepreneurs. Packed with insights on mindset, delegation, and staying true to your mission, this episode is a masterclass in building a purpose-driven business without burning out.
