Our Founder's Story

As a trained journalist, former educator, daughter of entrepreneurs, civic advocate, world traveler, and curious student of life, Nia brings a wealth of sharp insights, a broad network, and relevant lived experience to bgConnexPHL engagements. She lives to conjure communications magic.

​

That begins with understanding your story -- what matters most, who needs to hear it, and why. And even in a quantum speed-driven world, she prioritizes the time it takes to learn about and pour into people. Everything else flows from there for this fifth-generation Philadelphian -- from discovering what gives you heartburn to what makes you get up and dance. 

​​​

Inquisitive. Pragmatic. Organized. Compassionate. Inclusive. Fun-loving.

​

These core traits frame her intuitive approach, informed by a career that includes roles as a staff writer; multiplatform reporter and news analyst; English instructor; and as senior staff for government, nonprofit, and corporate entities. Distilling and distributing messages, narratives, and presentations with punch and resonance -- while balancing deadlines and the unexpected -- remain her professional through line. Nia provides calm, steady, and reasoned counsel in the midst of crises large and small -- plus well-placed humor, if and when needed.


Along with developing elegant storytelling and focused strategy, her ability to parachute into any setting, identify shared goals, dissect existing challenges, forge meaningful connections, and make an imprint with memorable passion complete her brand. That brand defines bgConnexPHL.​

Client Testimonial

“Nia knows the world of marketing and media, presents very well at meetings and events, and puts forth that polished refined approach that all my clients are looking for. She listens to your goals, asks smart questions, and then works with her team to execute action-based strategies that balance compliance matters and your desired outcomes. Creative and thoughtful, she absolutely has helped me better position my profile and develop and grow my practice.”

 

-- Jessica N. Natali, law firm partner, PA
