BEHIND THE BRAND

Take a moment to explore, learn more about my work, and subscribe to my Substack to follow along on my journey as a founder, storyteller, and self-proclaimed Chief Purpose Officer.

Hi, I’m Ayanna Dutton-Diaz. Afro-Panamanian, New Yorker (Brooklyn stand up!), and unapologetic vision-builder.

I’m the founder of AD Consulting, where I help leaders and brands own their voice, clarify their narrative, and bring big ideas to life. I’m also the co-founder of Non-Corporate Girls™, LLC, a podcast and lifestyle media platform dedicated to professional and entrepreneurial wellness. Both ventures are rooted in the same mission: bridging gaps, sparking possibility, and creating safe spaces for impact.

With an MBA in Entrepreneurship and a career spanning both corporate and creative worlds, I’ve led strategic frameworks, creative problem-solving, and execution plans for brands like LinkedIn, Meta, Dentsu, Coach, Coty Inc., Wacoal America, and Cadillac.

At work, my focus is on turning vision into action, whether that means developing a brand strategy for a global company, guiding an entrepreneur through a pivotal rebrand, or shaping campaigns that connect deeply with the right audience.

In life, it’s about cultivating diverse, intentional spaces where stories are told, voices are amplified, and community thrives. That through line is in everything I do, whether I’m behind a mic, leading a workshop, or bringing a new idea to market.
