About

I am a creative brand strategist and storyteller with 15+ years of experience shaping brands at the intersection of culture, technology, and innovation. With a career spanning fashion, luxury, lifestyle, CPG, tech, Web3, and entertainment, I have led high-impact campaigns and integrated marketing efforts that drive growth, deepen brand loyalty, and elevate awareness for both start-ups and global brands. My career began as “the storyteller behind the curtain,” consulting for top brands and spearheading influencer, experiential, and digital marketing strategies that transformed ideas into measurable results. Over the years, I have partnered with renowned names such as Nivea for Men, will.i.am, and Samsung, and contributed to the launch of major entertainment properties including Good Trouble, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, and Motherland: Fort Salem. As founder and creator of Lost Children of Andromeda, a sci-fi series that fuses music, literature, and art, I am using my expertise to build intellectual property from the ground up — leveraging tactics often executed for my clients. Brand strategy, impeccable storytelling, and community engagement have turned a childhood dream into a universe that challenges the boundaries of traditional literature. My latest work, 205Z: Time and Salvation, underscores my belief that innovation and storytelling are the most powerful tools we have to imagine new possibilities. I have been praised for my courage as an independent author, and notably, one who embraces emerging technologies, in publications like Forbes, VentureBeat, and Decrypt.

    NERD OUT: Bridge to the Next Internet The show format will be a panel style conversation centering topics around best practices, protocols, and industry secrets that are often hidden behind gatekeepers. We want to do our best to leave the exhaustive (Web3) lingo behind, and have inclusive conversations about subjects that matter to broader audiences. While exploring “how things work” through the lens of curiosity, we let our intense nerdiness for learning the ins and outs drive the strength and tone of the show. NERD OUT is on a mission to create something really exciting that looks, sounds, and feels different from what’s out there. Tune in every Wednesday at 5pm EST with your hosts, Jason Michael Primrose and Tara Fung!
