Talent Representation | Brand Partnerships | consulting

As a woman-owned, LGBTQ+-led company, we know firsthand that talent, opportunity, and influence don't always receive equal recognition.

We believe the entertainment and advertising industries are stronger when the people making decisions reflect the individuality of the audiences they're trying to reach. That perspective informs everything we do, from the talent we champion to the partnerships we build and the businesses we help grow.

We're particularly passionate about creating opportunities for women, historically underrepresented communities, and LGBTQ+ creators whose influence and contributions haven't always been matched by access, investment, or representation.

Our goal isn't simply to create more seats at the table. It's to help build a bigger table, where different perspectives are valued and great ideas have the opportunity to become great businesses.

Independent Talent Representation | Brand Partnerships | Strategic Consulting.

Bernado Consulting Group is a woman-owned, LGBTQ+-led talent representation and consulting firm operating at the intersection of culture, creativity, and commerce.

Built on the belief that the people shaping culture should have a seat at the table, we're committed to elevating underrepresented voices, challenging traditional industry norms, and creating meaningful commercial opportunities for the talent and businesses we work with.

We represent creators, artists, musicians, entertainers, and influential voices while helping brands and media companies build partnerships that drive real cultural and commercial impact.

We believe the best partnerships don't feel like advertising. They feel like you.

Founded by Brit Bernado, Bernado Consulting Group brings over a decade of experience at the intersection of entertainment, digital media, talent, and brand partnerships. 

Brit played a pivotal role in helping establish iHeartMedia, iHeartRadio, and iHeartPodcasts as the #1 podcast network worldwide, developing go-to-market strategies, driving revenue growth, and building partnerships that helped shape the modern podcast industry.

Her work spans groundbreaking collaborations with underrepresented creators, Bloomberg, the NBA, The Ron Burgundy Podcast, Big Money Players, How to Citizen with Baratunde Thurston, The Daily Zeitgeist, The Bechdel Cast, and Therapy for Black Girls, alongside innovative brand partnerships with Netflix, Hyundai, Hulu, General Motors, Procter & Gamble, and Ally Bank.

Working across revenue, sales, marketing, content acquisition, and talent partnerships during a period of extraordinary growth at iHeartMedia, Brit developed a unique understanding of how to turn great content, influential voices, and engaged audiences into sustainable businesses. Today, she's bringing that experience directly to the talent and companies shaping what's next.

Talent Representation & Brand Partnerships

We represent creators, artists, musicians, athletes, entertainers, podcasters, and cultural voices who are unapologetically forging their own paths.

From negotiating brand deals and developing long-term sponsorships to identifying new revenue streams and building strategic relationships, we help talent turn influence into lasting opportunities without compromising what makes them unique. 

Strategic Consulting & Business Development

We partner with brands, creators, production companies, and media businesses to develop smarter monetization strategies, strengthen market positioning, and identify new opportunities for growth.

Whether it's launching a new property, developing a sponsorship strategy, building a brand partnership program, or navigating the evolving creator economy, we bring the industry relationships, commercial expertise, and creative thinking to help make it happen.

Our approach is equal parts creative, strategic, and unapologetically original.

We believe representation matters, and that some of the most valuable voices in entertainment have historically been overlooked, underestimated, or underserved.

We're passionate about creating opportunities for those voices while helping brands connect with audiences in ways that are authentic, culturally relevant, and actually interesting.

We're not interested in partnerships just for the sake of partnerships. We're interested in building things that matter, make money, and make sense for everyone involved.
