“Becoming members of the NGLCC is an affirmation of our core values and a launching pad for future growth,” said NJI Co-founder and CEO Nathan Imperiale. “Clearly defining who we are for current and future clients contributes to changing perceptions and eliminating bias across industries. The policy arena where we began our careers more than 20 years ago wasn’t welcoming to professionals who were out, and we want to be a part of changing that as individuals and business owners.”
Founded in 2007 by Imperiale and President Josh Shultz following careers in U.S. public affairs, NJI works closely with corporate, association, and nonprofit organizations to create innovative and impactful communications materials. Our creative agency is designed to meet clients’ comprehensive needs, from strategy to implementation.
With offices in Washington, D.C., London, and Singapore, NJI’s team of strategists, designers, developers, producers, writers, illustrators, and other specialists supports our clients as they connect and influence policymakers: virtually, in person, and in the metaverse. By focusing on ease and localization in our creative process, NJI consistently delivers ideas that move our clients’ organizational and business objectives forward.
“Actively identifying as an LGBT-owned business is important to us as NJI continues to grow,” said Shultz, NJI Co-founder and President. “This certification is one of many steps that we are taking to prioritize diversity and representation as we expand in the U.S. and abroad.”
