Quincy S.

Brand Strategist & Agency Founder | Shopify, Webflow, DTC Growth

I help established companies and ambitious founders clarify their positioning, build distinctive brand identities, and turn those brands into high-converting digital experiences. I’m the CEO and co-founder of The Branded Agency, a brand-first creative and performance agency with more than $1 million billed through Upwork. Our team combines brand strategy, creative direction, UX/UI design, Shopify and Webflow development, content, and performance marketing to build brands that drive measurable growth. We work with companies launching new ventures, repositioning existing brands, entering new markets, or improving underperforming ecommerce experiences. Every engagement connects brand strategy with practical execution—so your positioning, identity, website, content, and marketing work together rather than operating in silos.

Our clients range from emerging startups to established organizations across DTC, CPG, healthcare, technology, AI, SaaS, supplements, oral care, beauty, food and beverage, hospitality, fitness, education, and professional services.

That experience means I approach every engagement as a founder—not simply as a consultant.
