Featured Engagement

San Francisco Juneteenth Parade and Festival, June 20, 2026

Freedom Then. Freedom Now.


Ni Ema led public relations and communications for San Francisco's fourth annual citywide Juneteenth parade, from Market and Second Street to a waterfront celebration at Embarcadero Plaza. Working alongside producer Tamara Walker of Burge LLC, she directed media, talent, vendors, and social through the recap, and secured the broadcast interviews that introduced the celebration to Bay Area audiences in the days before the parade.


The coverage

KTVU FOX 2, CBS News Bay Area, KRON 4, Telemundo, KQED Arts and Culture, the San Francisco Examiner, and Bay Area Parent.


Event partners

Target, the Golden State Warriors and Golden State Valkyries, and San Francisco International Airport.


The day

DeJ Loaf headlined, joined by The LeVert Experience featuring Men at Large, C. Titus, Lolita Sweet, Silky E, and Domingo and Friends, with host Ally Edwards, Miss Greater San Francisco. Author Marial Dhal spoke, and Mayor Daniel Lurie and Nancy Pelosi were in attendance.

Client Spotlight: C. Titus

C. Titus is a recording artist and co-founder of Realede Records. Ni Ema B. Consulting built and ran his campaign for the Spiritual Advisory Tour with MoneyHill Casino, from the press release that announced his two dates to the recap that followed. She managed his media access at The Virgil in Los Angeles on October 10 and at Brick & Mortar Music Hall in San Francisco on October 11, where she also booked his interviews, organized shoots and captured original content for his brand.

The engagement runs well beyond one weekend. As his publicist, Ni Ema B. leads his press and media relations, and she built and manages his digital home at ctitus.net. Her partnership work includes the Universal Belaire Sippers collaboration on "Belaire Bottles in the Air" and his closing performance of the record during NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.

The Practice

Counsel for the moments that carry weight.


For more than two decades, Ni Ema Baptista has worked behind high-visibility moments in media, entertainment, and live culture, and in the rooms where partnerships are decided. The firm she built carries that judgment into every engagement.


Clients bring the firm in at a launch, a leadership transition, a public debut, a citywide event or a moment when a reputation needs care. The work is to settle the strategy before the story goes out and to make sure it holds once it does.


Much of our work is never announced. Discretion is part of what clients retain us for.

Areas of Practice

Ni Ema B. leads every engagement and brings in specialists as the work requires.


We counsel on strategic communications and executive positioning: how an organization explains itself and how its leaders are seen. We manage media relations, including the judgment about which stories to pursue and which to decline, and we advise on reputation before, during, and after the moments that test it.


We also structure brand partnerships and sponsorships, and we run press, talent and red-carpet operations for festivals, premieres and civic events.

Who We Serve

Leaders who understand that how they communicate is inseparable from how they lead.


Corporations and government agencies. Nonprofits and educational institutions. High-growth companies in technology and AI. Founders, executives, artists, and public figures. Cultural institutions, and the events that bring a city together.


What they share is a moment when the quality of their communications must match the quality of their work.

Strategy Decides. Reputation Remains.

Strategy, brand, marketing and publicity are often treated as one discipline. They are not, and the confusion is expensive. Our work begins by putting each in its place.


Strategy decides.

Brand promises.

Product and culture prove.

Marketing attracts.

Publicity amplifies.

Reputation remains.
