ABOUT EQ
EQ’s mission is driven by growth and will to win mentality. We started as a 1-person firm enabling business with sales and marketing expertise to grow their businesses and tee up their sales and marketing teams. Grit, determination and hard work provided our massive pivot (and blow up) during the pandemic to lean into a more digital lese with our brand partners. Leveraging relationships and creating an ecosystem for business minded people we curated a unique intersection for brands, influencers and athletes to meet and collab.
