Essence Lofton

Flagship

Essence Lofton is a connector who partners with CEOs, directors and solopreneurs to grow both their personal and professional brands using a community approach. Essence believes that relationships are what make the difference between a successful business and one that is unable to reach its maximum potential. After spending more than a decade working in the corporate sector, Essence brought the prior learned strategic and analytical skills into the non-profit space working with startups. Essence knows what processes truly drives conversions, demands repeat experiences, and builds a following. It’s not about knowing everything, it’s about mastering that one thing. It’s how well you connect with the pulse of your tribe and the people you’re trying to help. It’s not about simply capturing a customer, it’s about being able to communicate your understanding of their needs back to them.

Since entering the startup space, Essence has been fortunate to participate as a speaker or produce community pieces for: The Grace Hopper Conference (Houston, TX), E-SHIP Summit (Kansas City, MO) and the United State of Women Conference (Los Angeles, CA).

In addition to her passion for working with founders, Essence is also a creative founder herself, launching an interior design studio and a boutique event planning company.
