I work at the nexus of advertising, technology, and culture — helping companies find the through line between what they've built and why it matters.

She started as a journalist.
It shows.

Tameka Kee has spent fifteen years at the intersection of media, advertising technology, and the written word. She started as a journalist — covering the business of digital media for paidContent and MediaPost — which is probably why she ended up doing what she does now.

Most companies in the ad tech and media space are genuinely good at building things. What they struggle with is articulating why those things matter — to their clients, to the market, to their own teams. That's where Tameka comes in. She works with companies on narrative, positioning, and content strategy, finding the through line between complex technology and the people on the other end who actually use it or are impacted by it.

The other thing she does is host and facilitate. She's led sessions for Beet.TV, Black Public Media, TWIPN, and others — curating conversations between seriously smart people and getting them to think differently. That work tends to land in rooms because someone watched it happen somewhere else. MIQ brought her in after their CSO saw her lead sessions at a retreat. That's usually how it works.

The AI piece runs through all of it. She's been thinking and writing about what AI means for advertising, for content, for human communication for several years — and she brings that lens to everything she touches, from workshops to event programming to editorial strategy.

She's built event agendas that drew 10,000+ attendees. She grew CIMM's sponsorship revenue by nearly 6x and launched its flagship summit with 5x the organization's previous attendance. She's been the strategic voice behind some of ad tech's most recognized platforms — as founder of TJK Media — without most people ever knowing her name was behind it.

She has always been the person translating what's complicated into what's actionable. The industry just keeps giving her new material to work with.

These aren't separate businesses. They're different expressions of the same instinct — to find the signal in the noise, bring the right people together, and say something worth saying.

01
Strategic Consulting
Narrative · Positioning · Content Strategy

Working with media companies and ad tech brands to find the through line between their technology and the people it affects. The deliverable is usually clarity — in a positioning framework, a content strategy, a messaging architecture, or an editorial voice that actually sounds like a human wrote it. Clients tend to be building something genuinely interesting that they can't quite explain yet.

02
Hosting & Facilitation
Events · Retreats · Panels · Live Experiences

The job isn't to run a panel. It's to curate the conditions for a conversation that wouldn't have happened otherwise — and then get out of the way. Sessions for Beet.TV, Black Public Media, TWIPN, and MIQ, among others. The format doesn't matter much. What matters is that people leave thinking differently than when they arrived.

03
Tech & Soul
Podcast · with Lynn · Building toward live

A podcast about technology and the human experience underneath it — co-hosted with Lynn. The conversations go where the industry ones usually don't. Building toward live episodes and an expanded format. Some things take the time they take.

04
In.Flux
Creative Production · Art · Tech · Culture

A creative studio in formation — producing curated experiences at the intersection of art, technology, and culture. Immersive evenings. Unlikely conversations. The kind of room you stay in longer than you planned. Always in motion. Never fully settled.

Speaking &
Conversations

From intimate retreat sessions to international conference stages, Tameka leads conversations about what AI actually means for advertising, media, and human communication — without the hype, and without pretending it's simple.
