Yes, Coltrane Curtis is his real name. And the founder of Team Epiphany is indeed christened after the great John Coltrane.
“I’ve named my two kids Ellington and Count and collectively, not a single one of us play an instrument,” said Curtis. “We’re looking at names just for aspirational purposes and goal purposes, but I always believe in fulfilling a prophecy. And I think the first thing it really starts with is your namesake.”
He left the nest—or more accurately, Brooklyn brownstone—to attend Morehouse College in Atlanta, growing his network at the hallowed liberal arts HBCU. In 2004, he opened the doors of Team Epiphany. Today, he runs the “influencer” marketing agency with his wife Lisa, who he credits as the lifeblood of the business. Thanks to their sole proprietorship, Curtis is able to focus exclusively on taking care of his staff of 97 with concerns ranging from their 401Ks to “how soft the toilet paper is.
He says the agency gives the same 110% to mom-and-pop retailers as it does to its blue chip clients like Jordan Brand and AirBnb. Curtis adds that his work opens the door to diversity in marketing—he says 70% of Team Epiphany staff are people of color. And 70% of staff are also women.
