About IndependenThinker

Your strategic partner in bilingual, data-driven digital marketing.

 

​

IndependenThinker LLC is a boutique bilingual digital marketing studio dedicated to helping small businesses and professionals grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose. We take the stress out of day-to-day digital operations so you can focus on making smart, data-informed decisions that move your business forward.

 

Founded by Ana Isabel Mejía Andrade, IndependenThinker brings together expertise in communications, broadcast media, social media advocacy, data analysis, content strategy, and content creation. Ana’s mission is simple: to bridge the gap between high-quality digital marketing and affordability for small businesses.

 

As a small business owner herself, Ana understands the real challenges entrepreneurs face: limited time, limited budgets, and the pressure to “do it all.” That firsthand experience shapes every strategy we build: practical, ethical, audience-centered, and results-driven.

 

Our Approach

​

We blend storytelling with analytics to help brands:

  • Build authentic connections with their audience.

  • Strengthen their digital presence across platforms.

  • Make informed decisions using real data, not guesswork.

  • Communicate clearly across cultures and languages.

 

Our work

​

It is primarily rooted in bilingual and bicultural marketing, helping brands connect meaningfully with diverse communities in the U.S.

 

Our Story

​

IndependenThinker began in 2013 as a digital advocacy blog focused on social impact, media literacy, and civic engagement. Over time, that foundation evolved into a full-service communications and digital marketing practice—grounded in ethical storytelling, audience trust, and measurable outcomes.

Ana has participated in and contributed to nationally and internationally recognized forums across media, technology, and communications, sharpening her ability to navigate both traditional and digital landscapes.

 

Today

​

IndependenThinker supports small businesses and professionals who want more than visibility; they want impact, alignment, and sustainable growth.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR BILINGUAL STRATEGIC PARTNER

Ana Isabel Mejia Andrade
Founder | CEO 

Let’s Work Together!

​

If you’re looking for a strategic partner who understands your challenges, respects your budget, and values your audience as much as you do, we’d love to explore how we can work together.

 

When I’m not building strategies or analyzing trends, you’ll find me on LinkedIn exploring emerging tech, advocating for digital rights, and occasionally curating the perfect meme to sum up the moment.
