Aja Bradley Kemp is the founder and Chief Experience Officer of Conversate Collective, an experiential events agency turning culture into connection through IRL storytelling and design. Her work is deeply intentional, rooted in community, and unapologetically bold. For the premiere of The 1619 Project in Los Angeles, Aja and her 70% BIPOC production team turned the event into a masterclass in emotional impact. Featuring storytelling through food, music, and art, an 8-foot hero-art statue wrapped in an American flag, and Oprah leading a conversation with the project leaders, the experience landed with purpose and power. She brought that same clarity of vision to the Cantu New Reformulation Campaign, using interactive demos and a hologram of Skai Jackson to spark massive lifts in purchase intent. Then, for KVD Beauty, Aja flipped the script on brand pop-ups with a lipstick recycling station, playful touchpoints, and an atmosphere that fostered consumer participation. Whether elevating heritage storytelling or creating space for joy and discovery for brands, Aja builds moments that move people while also moving the needle.
