About Us

Who We Are and What We Offer

The Global Creative Community Branding And Marketing Academy (GCC BMA) is specially designed for Independent Authors and Creative Professionals. 

For authors: completing your manuscript is just the first step. You have to brand yourself as an author and market your book(s).

For creative professionals: "if you build (create) it, they will come" is not a marketing strategy.

​

In the GCC BMA, we will work together to maximize your branding and marketing influence and authority through online training, small group coaching, and networking opportunities.

(The course bundles are available on a payment plan!)

​

Keith Owens and Pamela Hilliard Owens founded TeamOwens313 in December 2007 and eventually opened four separate but related businesses and two podcasts.
