So, who's running this thing?
Five years and more than 100 businesses later, I’ve had the privilege of branding a local brewery, designing ads for a tech start-up, rebranding a beloved barbecue sauce, and curating marketing campaigns for everyone from everyday entrepreneurs to million-dollar social enterprises.
With a decade of experience in public relations and strategic communications, I’ve worked with small businesses, nonprofits, government agencies (local, state, and federal), and corporations to create and execute campaigns that keep their names on the lips of their clients and stakeholders.
Founder is the culmination of that experience, born from a deep desire to address the common challenges I’ve seen founders face when trying to grow and market their businesses.

How Founder Works
So easy, you or anyone on your team can do it.
Step 1: Subscribe
Pick the plan that’s perfect for you, then head to checkout to pay and fill out a quick form to tell us more about you. After that, you’ll get a link to your private portal where you can easily submit your requests. Don’t worry—there are simple instructions inside the portal to guide you through it.
Step 2: Request
Once you’re subscribed, you can add as many requests to your queue as you like. Just remember, depending on the plan you select, they'll be delivered one at a time. Small requests usually take 3-5 business days, while larger ones take 7-10 business days—depending on the scope and how quickly you approve each deliverable.
Need more? We can roll you into a full-service marketing and brand strategy project. Founder is part of a boutique agency with the tools and expertise to get it all done.
We ditched the agency model to deliver something better
You need a reliable expert you can trust, so you don't have to worry.
Consider us your A-team! We’re available whenever you need us Monday through Friday via your private portal.
We get it. You're tired of unreliable freelancers and expensive agencies.
That's why we keep things simple: one flat rate each month, and we’ll execute your marketing tasks—no micromanaging, no scope creep.
You want to work with real people, not just AI.
As efficient as AI can be, it just can't replace the human touch. We take the time to learn the ins and outs of your brand, then market it as if it were our own.
Coordinating between multiple vendors is a huge time suck.
The good news? Working with us is simple—no weekly calls, no endless email chains. Just upload your requests to our portal, and we’ll handle them for you.

"When it comes to excellence and execution in detail, this brand ambassador is where you want to be. She has taken our nonprofit to new heights, from graphic design to really understanding our brand and the voice we want to present to our public-facing audience. We appreciate everything she's done when it comes to meeting deadlines, understanding our budget constraints, and making it do what it do within that.

Depending on what you need, you can be rolled into a full-service marketing and brand strategy project. Founder is an extension of Malaika Karriem, a boutique agency equipped to handle rebrands, major events, product launches, and high-impact campaigns.
When things move quickly, it’s easy for details to get overlooked. That’s why we focus on completing tasks one at a time, making sure you get exactly what you need at each stage before moving on to the next.
Once you become a member, you’ll receive a link to access your private portal where you can submit your requests. Instructions on how to navigate your portal are in the portal itself.
Once subscribed, you're able to add as many requests to your queue as you'd like, and they will be delivered one by one.
Small requests are typically delivered in 3-5 business days, while larger, more complex ones take 7-10 business days. The exact timeline depends on the scope of work and how quickly you approve each deliverable.
You aren't locked into our subscription. You can cancel anytime. If you choose to cancel, you'll still have access to your team until the end of your current billing cycle, and you can restart your subscription at any time.
No worries! Founder is designed to ebb and flow with your workload. If you only have one or two design requests, you can request a pause on your subscription and your remaining time will be banked for when you’re ready to get started on another project.
Of course! You’ll have access to Malaika for the remainder of the month once you cancel. After that, you don’t have to subscribe again until you need me.
Yes, Founder mainly offers copywriting, editing, brand strategy, and graphic design services. The subscription does not include website development, animated graphics, 3D modeling, product packaging, or production. However, we can refer you to trusted experts who are ready to support these needs.
A lot goes into providing this service, so all sales are final. However, you can cancel your membership at any time.
