I started The Brands + Bands Strategy Group years after going through my own hardships with money. I learned about money when I did not have any. Experiencing moving through unemployment not prepared to drain the little bit of a retirement fund that I did have - I’ve been there. With over a decade of experience in Financial Services over a decade as a Marketer, I've had the privilege of seeing both sides of the coin when it comes to the challenges many face in the business and banking world.

Are you ready to take control of your finances and achieve your financial goals?
Hey Hey! I’m Nadia Vanderhall and I’m a [Financial] Planner, Educator, and Marketer; LinkedIn and some folks in my industry also call me a Thought Leader. I've been at this for over a decade now, crafting awesome campaigns and creating top-notch content on various topics like brand strategy, investing, women and money, storytelling, and content curation. I love giving the real around what’s going on within personal finance and the economy and making the dot connect to what the headlines are saying. Not only talking about reports but also making it match the reality of my clients and community.
Working with different companies and events has been a blast! From the Obama campaign to the BET Awards, I've had the chance to curate some amazing experiences that drove brand growth, revenue, and outreach. Oh, and can you believe it? In just the last decade years, my campaign launches have brought in a whopping $2 billion in revenue and got featured in big-league publications like the New York Times and AdAge.
Back in 2009, I leaped and founded The Brands + Bands Strategy Group. In 2020, I shifted from just talking about money, but helping people understand the language of it. My vision is that I not only help close the wealth gap, but also fuse financial planning/advising, education, and coaching within one space. Over the years, I felt it was important to not only create content around Personal Finance or the Economy but to also build my Financial Planning model for my firm. I'm proud to say my insights have been recognized in Bloomberg, Fast Company, USA Today, Best Life, and Ellevest, among other cool places.
One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is seeing people have their “ah ha” moments about finding how to make their means build the “more” for their livelihood and money. Helping people make informed financial decisions and build wealth over time feels fantastic.
I've got a real knack for spotting market trends and coming up with innovative solutions for my clients and connecting it to laymen terms in a cultural context; doing this has earned me a reputation as a true expert and leader in my field.
Outside of work, I studied Mass Communication at Johnson C. Smith University, and I'm also a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Top Voices - LinkedIn, and ForbesBLK. Plus, I'm a huge believer in giving back, so I'm an avid philanthropist. Oh, and art? Yeah, it's my passion—I just can't get enough of it!
That's a little peek into my world. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me better and potentially work with me!
