Today we’d like to introduce you to Kiandria Demone and Kareem Allen.
Taste Marketing and Digital Media is one of the newest and fastest-growing marketing companies in the South! Originally founded, in Huntsville, AL, Taste has now expanded to Atlanta, GA as the founders, Kiandria Demone and Kareem Allen, prepare to meet and exceed new business goals by taking on a larger, more diverse market.
“There are so many different aspects to selling and marketing a brand or product, we feel a larger market will really allow us to have fun with our ideas and creativity,” excited Demone, who now serves as Co-CEO and Creative Director of Marketing Communication. Demone began her career in Social Media Marketing and Communications while attending college at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. After earning a degree, Demone worked as an on-air talent and host for local radio station.
Soon after, she found herself contributing greatly to the station’s online platforms and marketing campaign, as creating content and executing marketing strategies seemed to come naturally. Within months, she had created her own position: the station’s first-ever social media manager. Demone worked tirelessly to create and grow the online following of a once traditional, dated media outlet. Upon her departure, Demone had created an online audience of over two-thousand new followers and potential customers! Unsurprisingly, when she decided to branch out and start her own digital management company, Demone was able to move forward to begin “Taste Management”, serving artists, entertainers, and media outlets in Northern Alabama, and even kept the owner of the radio station as a client!
In 2015, Taste Management transformed from a digital management company, to social media marketing power-brand Taste Marketing and Digital Media, as Demone partnered with a local entertainment promoter and entrepreneur, Kareem Allen. Originally from Florence, AL, Allen is a natural salesman, businessman, and entrepreneur. After finding much success in the entertainment and nightlife industry (including creating and publishing a viral video that launched his career as an influencer), Allen decided to bring his experience and wisdom and use it more in a corporate sector. “Our goal is to take the creative skills that we both use in the entertainment industry, master them, and show people in every field how they can use them to create customers and make money,” Allen explains, “Just like entertainers, we all use social media daily. We post, we read, we occupy ourselves with the day-to-day lives of others. But the problem is that only a few are making a profit from it.” According to Allen, Taste Marketing and Digital media will help business owners by bringing a fresh, modern millennial’s take on traditional marketing.
With creative concepts, strategic campaigns, and eye-catching visuals, Taste is set to become the biggest and most innovative marketing company as it expands outside of the southern market. Its founders Kiandria Demone and Kareem Allen have begun expanding their own brand as business partners and a power couple! In January 2019, the two were approached by a major network with an opportunity to appear as regular cast members on a new, relationship-based tv show! The show will follow the lives of Demone and Allen as they try to navigate the difficulties of being business partners, raising a family, and preparing for marriage!
With clients that vary from small businesses, entrepreneurs, to celebrities and influencers nationwide. And now, a national platform to showcase both their business and personal life, there are no ends to the level of innovation and creativity that have made Ms. Demone and Mr. Allen a partnership and a brand with much accomplishment in media, marketing, and entertainment, and even more potential for growth!
Has it been a smooth road?
One of the biggest struggles we have faced is being skeptic of our natural instincts when we first started our company. There are many trends in the industry today, and we found ourselves over-researching, over-analyzing, and making changes that were not necessary. As time has passed and we have gained more experience, we have learned to rely on our own creativity, merit, and skill to lead us in our personal lives and in business. Thankfully, we found that this was the best approach, and things have greatly improved ever since!
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Taste Marketing and Digital Media – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Taste Marketing and Digital Media is a Luxury Branding and High-end marketing company. We specialize in all forms of digital marketing, advertising, and branding. We are most known for our video marketing, specifically our animated logo designs. One of our current bestsellers is a game called “Brand Roulette”. Inspired by the game Russian roulette, customers supply a copy of their logo and their company information (website, social media). While our designs usually give the customer the option to choose video styles, this game gives creative control to the designer. Though it is indeed a gamble, it is definitely worth it as the customers receive high-end, customized designs for only half the price! All we ask in exchange is a little trust and bravery!
Our company stands out from others for many reasons, the most notable one being our creativity. We have a great understanding of the psychology of the customer, and our team is able to translate their needs into eye-catching, high-quality visuals! We also pride ourselves in our innovative design, our thorough understanding of the market, and our ability to create content that could compete with bigger brands (such as Nike, Apple, Google). In short, we are ten years ahead of all the competition (in every aspect of business), and we are making quality content accessible to businesses other than just those who dominate their industry.

What we like best about Atlanta is the amount of young, ambitious, urban professionals that thrive and build businesses here. People are not afraid to take risks, and the right partnerships can lead to a lot of success!
