A legacy is defined as something handed down from one generation to the next. This can be property, a title, or a business. And to run a successful business, especially one that endures the test of time, the right mindset is critical.
Ken Collis founded TLK Fusion with a vision, purpose, and genuine passion for marketing. These elements, combined with positive thinking and a strong belief in himself, have heralded him as one of the industry’s top-notch names. The company has also won prestigious awards, such as being named ‘Best Company’ by Entrepreneur 360 in 2018 & 2019, and was a part of ‘Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Companies’ back-to-back in 2020 & 2021.
This renowned career path came from two elements. One was Collis’ deep love for marketing, and the other was the desire to guide fellow entrepreneurs. This is where the concept of TLK Fusion was born: a single stop for brands, celebrities, and influencers that blended traditional marketing concepts with modern digital advertising. With this business, Collis could help rising figures and businesses achieve their goals and stand out among even the most crowded industries.
TLK has represented names like the Kardashians, Gucci, Nike, and L’Oreal. One of the agency’s bedrocks is establishing long-term relationships that go beyond usual business arrangements. In fact, TLK is abridged for “talk,” thus reflecting the importance Collis places on communication. Even though he is the captain of this remarkable ship, Collis is still very hands-on when it comes to client experiences.
His leadership style embraces critical thinking and acknowledging that one is not always the smartest person in the room. It is built on collaboration and an intense desire to succeed. Collis openly admits that a fear of failure fuels his leadership skills. He defines personal success as what we leave for the next generation; thus, his mindset is focused not only on his business but also on his very legacy.
By welcoming challenges and guiding other entrepreneurs through tough times, Ken Collis gains as much satisfaction as he does in seeing his own business excel. He has built a 12-year legacy along several verticals and thanks to his limitless mindset; he is just getting started.
