Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Demel Bolden. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Demel, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
For as long as I can remember I’ve had dreams and aspirations to leave a positive influence on the world. The Drvn Way is designed to inspire and awaken the best version of yourself through creative storytelling, content marketing, clothing, and public speaking. As an evolving visionary and mental health advocate, I am devoted to extracting and creatively expressing the desires and visions of my clients all while living in my purpose as a business owner.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am an entrepreneur, creative director, photographer, and marketing specialist currently based in Virginia. What began as a New Year’s resolution back in 2019 quickly became my biggest blessing in disguise. Over the course of the past four years, I’ve had the pleasure to provide my services for several notable companies, public figures, and events such as Jordan Brand, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Michael Vick, and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve to name a few.
I feel that my ability to strategically bring an idea to reality all while sustaining an enthusiastic posture across a plethora of industries is my greatest asset. Since a child, I’ve been in a relentless pursuit to gain as much knowledge as I possibly can in order to achieve my lifelong dreams. In recent years, I’ve immersed myself within the moving parts of the sports industry as well as the production industry and have benefited greatly from my experiences especially in the ways I am able to perform in times of urgency when working with clients.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
Most certainly, an individual without a definite purpose in life is subjective to follow the course of whatever life presents them with. My mission throughout my creative journey has always been to be a figure of inspiration for today’s generation and the generations to come. After a tragic and nearly fatal car accident at the age of two, I knew that God kept me here for a reason. I view The Drvn Way as an outlet to glorify God’s grace and to uplift anyone that comes in contact with me. This is who I’ve always been and always will be at the root of it all. I’ll continue to be in a relentless pursuit towards my biggest dreams all while hopefully fueling the tank for my peers to do the same.
Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?
For me, I try my best to authentically represent myself both online and in-person so that prospective clients can understand who Demel Bolden is and what The Drvn Way embodies. At the core of who I am, I want the best for people and I genuinely want for them to strive for it as well. I often times use the analogy of planting seeds, within my four years of operation, I’ve consistently and strategically planted seeds with pure intentions. The way I see it, my accolades and success within my entrepreneurial and creative endeavors are the fruits of my heart, knowledge, and integrity towards creating a greater good.
