Brandemix

What Brandemix does

Brandemix is a private, woman-owned employer branding and internal communications agency headquartered in New York, founded in 2004 by Jody Ordioni. The firm provides end-to-end employer branding services to enterprise and public sector clients across industries including healthcare, retail, manufacturing, media, education, shipping/logistics, and government. Its client roster spans Fortune-class enterprises such as NBC Universal, Bayer, Benetton, Marsh, JW Marriott, and Chico's FAS, alongside public-sector engagements including the New York State Office of Mental Health and universities such as Purdue and Kalpan University.

The company's service portfolio is organized into four categories: Employer Branding Services (EVP development, employer brand research, architecture, identity development, and rapid-cycle talent branding); Recruitment Marketing (digital recruitment, career sites, ad campaigns, social recruiting, media buying, SEO/SEM, and diversity/campus recruiting); Internal Communications (change management, e-learning, wellness programs, benefits communications, employee recognition, and onboarding); and Training & Activation (workshops, leadership retreats, DEI/bias training, and a speaker bureau). Underpinning all offerings is a proprietary "Talent Brand" methodology organized around the concept of "The Welcome" — the earliest moment a candidate decides they belong — codified in founder Jody Ordioni's award-winning book "The Talent Brand." In 2026 the firm began productizing portions of the methodology via downloadable toolkits covering EVP testing, career site and job posting audits, social recruitment content, and brand voice/visual identity.

Brandemix operates as a pure professional services agency with no software platform, API, or proprietary technology product; it has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and an estimated team size of 1–10 employees. Revenue is generated through custom project-based engagements and multi-year retainers with enterprise and mid-market clients, priced via bespoke proposals after initial consultation. The firm uses a consultative sales motion anchored by founder-led outreach, a long-running thought leadership blog, a monthly newsletter, social channels, a speakers bureau, and the published book, and it identifies a 20-year operating history as its primary brand-equity differentiator.
