Five Years of Strategy, Resilience, and Growth: JLLB Media Celebrates Milestone Anniversary and Unveils Vision for 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Waconia, MN – December 3rd, 2025

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.

This milestone is not just a celebration of longevity, but a testament to resilience. Over the past five years, JLLB Media has navigated a rapidly changing business landscape, helping clients communicate the right message, to the right people, on the right channel.

“Reaching the five-year mark is a profound moment for us. We are celebrating our incredible clients, our strategic collaborations, and the partners who believed in our vision,” says Juan Llerena, Founder and President of JLLB Media. “To those who supported us, thank you. And to those who doubted us—thank you even more. You fueled our hunger, sharpened our focus, and made us work harder to prove that integrity, creativity, and strategy always win.”

A Commitment to Holistic Business Growth

JLLB Media has distinguished itself by offering a unique hybrid of services that bridge the gap between creative marketing and financial stability. While the agency is known for high-level brand strategy, web design, and digital marketing, the co-founding team recognized early on that a beautiful brand cannot survive without a strong operational backbone.

“We don’t just want our clients to look good; we want them to be healthy businesses that last,” says Rita Guisela Pinto, Co-Founder and CFO. “By integrating financial literacy, bookkeeping, and operational compliance into our consulting, we ensure that the entrepreneurs we serve build a foundation strong enough to scale. True empowerment comes when you understand your numbers as well as your brand.”

Looking Ahead: Education and Innovation for 2026 

The business landscape and consumer behaviors are shifting faster than ever. JLLB Media remains committed to staying ahead of the curve through rigorous research and testing in marketing technology, AI integration, and financial best practices.

Moving toward 2026, JLLB Media is expanding its focus on:

• Education & Technical Assistance: Providing more workshops and training through programs like Vamos Impact to close the knowledge gap for immigrant and emerging entrepreneurs.
• Data-Driven Innovation: Testing new solutions in paid advertising and automation to help clients maximize ROI in a crowded digital space.
• Community Impact: Deepening partnerships with nonprofits and government entities to foster generational wealth through entrepreneurship.

A Call for Collaboration 

As JLLB Media enters its next chapter, the door is open for new opportunities. The agency is actively seeking partnerships with organizations that share a commitment to diversity, equity, and economic growth in Minnesota.

“We are in the business of building legacies,” adds Llerena. “Whether through a rebrand, a strategic PR campaign, or financial consulting, our mission remains the same: to empower you from idea to scale. The world changes, but our commitment to your growth does not.”

To current partners, future collaborators, and the community we serve: ¡Vamos por más!
