Northstar Network LLC is a strategic consultancy and creative house founded by Ken L. Daniel Jr., a visionary leader committed to bridging purpose with execution. After years of working across industries where culture was often an afterthought, Ken built Northstar to do things differently—to put strategy, creativity, and community on equal footing.

At Northstar, we empower brands, organizations, and social impact leaders to tell bold stories, scale intentional growth, and lead with clarity. Our work lives at the intersection of branding, digital marketing, creative production, and organizational strategy—all through a culturally intelligent lens. We don’t just help you build a brand—we help you build momentum.

Whether you're launching something new or elevating what already exists, we bring the frameworks, creative firepower, and strategic insight to help you lead with authenticity and impact.

We’re Not Here to Make Noise. We’re Here to Make it Matter.

Meet Ken L. Daniel Jr.

Visionary. Storyteller. Systems thinker.

Ken L. Daniel Jr. is a strategist, storyteller, and systems thinker whose work lives at the intersection of culture and clarity. As a first-generation college graduate Detroit native, and now Baltimore resident, Ken’s vision for Northstar Network is rooted in legacy, lived experience, and a commitment to helping people and brands find their way back to purpose.

Before launching Northstar, Ken led national multicultural campaigns and digital transformation work for Stellantis—building strategy that algined people with the products. His work bridges identity with execution, helping organizations grow with intention, not just scale. Today, he brings that same energy to his clients: fusing innovation, inclusion, and impact into every engagement.

For Ken, this isn’t just business—it’s personal. Every insight he shares is grounded in experience, and every move is guided by a compass built from culture, equity, and community.

Everything I create is a constellation of the people who poured into me—and Northstar is the brightest point in that constellation so far.
