Molly Aaker is a New York-based brand strategist, photographer and writer who digs deep to uncover and reveal the magic within.
I’m a brand strategist with a decade+ of experience working with brand, design firms and ad agencies to help brands grow—whether that’s helping global brands redefine their vision, shaping new brands to win fans or encouraging every brand in between to be brave and find their strengths. In addition to strategy, I side hustle as a photographer, primarily selling stock via Getty (where I’ve made my cat famous) in addition to the occasional portrait. And if telling stories via strategy and photography isn’t enough, I’m currently working on a semi-autobiographical novel, bringing to life my early years of living in the East Village and weaving in a bit of family lore.
I originally wanted to be a treasure-hunting archeologist (Thanks Indiana Jones!). Instead, when I’m not seeking nuggets of insight during my day job, I’m traveling with my camera in hand or capturing the latest characters for my WIP novel. I live in Crown Heights, Brooklyn where I satisfy my intense curiosity of people through long walks to the subway and quality time on the A train.
