Janell is the Founder and President of Janell Snowden Media. She is a journalist, executive producer, and media strategist whose career spans more than two decades in media, entertainment, brand development, and management. As a network news correspondent and anchor, she conducted more than 10,000 interviews with virtually every major figure in pop culture, sports, and entertainment, anchored red carpet broadcasts for VH1, MTV, and BET, and appeared regularly as a pop culture expert on CNN primetime. She has also written cover stories for national publications.
That foundation evolved into a broader creative and strategic practice. She now hosts and produces branded content series for Fortune 500 brands, and creative directs live productions for global talent and commercial clients — from intimate brand experiences to festival and stadium stages.
Over the years, many of the celebrities she once interviewed have come to rely on her in an entirely different capacity: as a strategic advisor, creative partner, and trusted architect of some of their most significant professional decisions. She works with corporate executives, high-level entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and public figures as a media coach, image consultant, and communications strategist — closing the gap between who they are and how the world sees them.
