Bernie Youngblood got his start in finance, but would soon pivot to the arena of sales and marketing - a tour that would include a series of entrepreneurial ventures. He's launched national marketing programs, executed corporate spin-offs, built boot-strap start-ups, and kick-started an international distribution organization. He's been recognized as a subject matter expert in a variety of fields, and worked with the Fortune 500 as a management consultant. Never being one to follow the rules, Bernie's redefined the way companies, and in one case, an entire industry, view - and market - their products. It was during this time, when he was invited to join his first non-profit board, that the seeds for his second career pivot were planted. After much reflection, he made the decision to launch a boutique marketing firm to deliver special projects that bridge the gap between for-profits, non-profits, and artist communities. Today, ThinkPartners delivers programs that enable for-profit companies to sell their products and build their brands, empowers non-profits to fundraise while stewarding all the causes we care about, and fosters the development of artists delivered into this world to provide the inspiration we so desperately require.
