Looking for the best way to organize, manage, and monetize? I have the answer you’re looking for. I’m Austin James and I’m your "Digital Wizard", ready to help you scale your community. Let’s talk about strategy! 

In the spirit of professionalism, I’m going to give you an insider’s view at a few things I’ve accomplished in this role so you can get a better picture of exactly what those titles mean. Once we’ve covered them, I’ll share a bit more about who I am and what drives me in my business because let’s face it… that’s a lot more fun!

I founded and am the CEO of Capital Brand Consulting. It all started in 2018 with a Facebook Group I founded called "The Nazareth Times". The focus of the group was to spotlight our beautiful bedroom community in the heart of the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania. After a year of hard work, dedication and collaborations I managed to grow our community into one with a monetization model. We had a radio show, clothing line, website and digital publication focused on spotlighting our community hero's, events, artists and influencers.

Our hard work paid off in 2020 when I got the attention of Facebook and was recruited by Meta. I was brought into a private group for leading power admins ran by leaders at the company to help us scale, organize and monetize our communities. That's when everything changed, and we revaluated our mission plan. I knew we were onto something big, so I decided to archive the group and focus on consulting and working with other brands, communities and influencers. Shortly after I acquired my Certified Community Manager Certification from Meta and became a Certified Tourism Ambassador for my local region. 

From there, Meta leaders invited me to be a speaker on round tables, forums and summits as a thought leader in the brand collabs and community monetization space.

We have worked with many small and large media companies such as Meta, PBS and iHeart Radio.

I've been blessed to work with many large and engaging digital communities and influencers around the nation, and the world. Coaching them on growth, organization and monetization.

I've hosted and co-hosted many podcasts, find me on Spotify, google play, apple podcasts and anywhere you stream your favorite shows.
