Expo Peru Collection LLC, operating as JLLB Media, is proud to announce its official recertification as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) by the Minnesota Unified Certification Program (MNUCP). This milestone underscores JLLB Media’s continued commitment to excellence in marketing consulting and accounting services, specifically designed to help government agencies and prime contractors meet diversity goals while delivering high-impact community results.

“Uptown is more than a commercial district; it is a living, breathing ecosystem,” says Katrina Michaels. “When our streets are blocked or our community feels under pressure, it doesn’t just affect our bottom line—it affects our bodies. We carry that stress in our shoulders, our breath, and our sleep. I believe that community is the backbone of society, and when that backbone is strained, we must work together to realign it.”

JLLB Media is leveling up! Founder Juan Llerena has officially earned his Sales Coach certification through Transformation Academy. Discover how we are combining 20 years of marketing expertise with advanced sales psychology and neuromarketing to help our business community bridge the gap between leads and revenue.

We want to thank Elevate Hennepin for the opportunity to be a part of their roster. As they move to refresh their provider list for the future, JLLB Media is excited to bring our “vetted” experience to new institutional partners.

JLLB Media announces that Founder and President Juan Llerena has earned his Certified Business and Entrepreneurship Coach designation, expanding the agency’s ability to support modern entrepreneurs through strategic coaching, AI-driven insights, and business growth solutions.

JLLB Media, a premier minority- and woman-owned creative strategy and business consulting firm, proudly announces its fifth anniversary. Founded by Juan Llerena and Rita Guisela Pinto, the agency has grown from a home-based vision into a trusted partner for entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and government agencies across the Twin Cities and beyond.
