Meet Oneisha Ford | Publicist & Influencer Marketer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Oneisha Ford and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Oneisha, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
I’ve learned that in order to acquire long-term success it takes strategy and preparation. Although amazing things can fall into our laps, most of the time the gateway to achievement in any area of our lives is a result of focus and discipline. One of the contributing factors to my success has been intentionality and leaning into wisdom. At various stages of my life, I’ve been diligent to take inventory of where I am, where I’d like to be, and who I’d like to be. I find that if we’re unaware of these things, it can feel almost impossible to achieve our end goals. However, if we set clear standards and boundaries for ourselves, we’d be more likely to see the success we hope for. I’m also a firm believer that when we write down our intentions and take a look at them periodically, we can begin moving towards them, sometimes it’s even unconsciously done.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Digital Pitch is a boutique Public Relations & Influencer Marketing Agency specializing in building purposeful entertainment & lifestyle brands. We believe in combining brand and consumer insights to orchestrate strategic communication, craft compelling narratives that inspire action, and build a positive brand image.

At Digital Pitch, we are champions of the innovators, creators, leaders, and impactful brands who fit a long-awaited need in the marketplace.

Prior to starting Digital Pitch, I began my career in the entertainment industry, working with major film + tv studios (A24, Universal Home Entertainment, Amazon Pictures, Fox Searchlight, etc,). Since then, I’ve worked in the aviation, travel, technology, and finance industries. Throughout my career, I’ve been blessed with once in a lifetime opportunities, such as leading an Opening Bell Ceremony at New York Stock Exchange, organizing a red carpet premiere for an Academy award-winning film, and securing media coverage for clients in Forbes, USA Today, Yahoo, Essence, Rolling Stone, BBC, Bussiness Insider and more. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with incredibly talented celebrities, influencers, world leaders, and businesses.

When starting out in PR, I quickly realized that when a publicist truly believes in a brand or individual it helps to circumvent those “challenging” days, especially in the ever-changing media landscape. As a result, my biggest focus is alignment and partnering with brands I believe in. When working with Digital Pitch, our clients are not just getting a traditional PR & Influencer Marketing firm, but a team of brand advocates. We’re here to position them for success, shine a light on their mission and magnify their greatness in traditional & social media. It’s our joy, to show up with passion, zeal, and strategy, which leads to client wins.

I’ve also learned challengings will come, but we have to use them as opportunities for growth. There have been many times I’ve been faced with a task that seemed virtually impossible to pull off, but with a bit of ingenuity, dedication, and confident faith, it works out. With God, I’ve seen that it always does.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love to explore Miami and as a self-proclaimed foodie, I’d take them to all of my favorite vegan spots. We’d start off with breakfast pastries at Vegan Delights, they have the best vegan pastelitos and empanadas in South Florida. Lunch and dinners at L’Artisan Bakery, Organic Food Kings, Love Life Cafe, Parlour Vegan, Minty Z, Thatch, and Planta Queen. We’d also go to the beach, Smorgasburg Miami, museums, and a spa day at Lapis Spa at Fontainebleau.
