JaKia Gilbert is a certified customer acquisition specialist who is all about helping purpose-driven brands increase their revenue and share their message with more people without sacrificing what makes them special.

She specializes in paid advertising, email marketing, funnel creation, and brand strategy and she received a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication, with a concentration in broadcast, from Alcorn State University. During her time at Alcorn, she learned and gained many things, but the most notable was a love for telling stories.

Growing up in the small town of Clarksdale, Mississippi, she learned at an early age the importance of story. Understanding that she was the author of her story allowed her to understand that holding the pen also gave her the power of choice and now she uses the power of story to help purpose-driven brands grow.

She has adopted what she calls ‘The Captain’ mindset, which is a philosophy that she created that is centered around seeing things through to the end. This mindset has carried her through her hardest trials and continues to inspire her to reach for more.

JaKia has helped clients from the e-commerce, SaaS, and coaching and consulting industries, and after years of learning and implementing what her mentors have taught her, she has now embarked on a journey to create a framework that helps purpose-driven brands build six and seven-figure purpose-driven e-commerce brands on demand.

She’s currently serving as the Social Media Coordinator for Higher Purpose Co.® and is using her spare time to pursue her purpose of helping Black people embrace what makes them special and use that as a tool to build the life that they deserve through a purpose-driven e-commerce brand of her own.
