I’m Imelda Vergara Skinder a creative founder, strategist, and podcast marketing expert building at the intersection of story, automation, and brand energy. I spent years growing audiences for LA Times Studios, Stitcher, SiriusXM, and Kevin Hart’s media company before launching two agencies of my own: Listening Party, focused on podcast and content marketing, and Blxnk Canvas, a studio for cultural brands and startups. I help creators and founders scale with intention through systems that spark growth, stories that stick, and marketing that feels true to who they are.
Listening Party is a boutique podcast marketing agency I co-founded with podcast industry leader Christy Mirabal. Together we help creators and studios grow their podcasts through strategy, performance, and platform visibility. As Head of Brand & Performance, I lead creative growth campaigns, funnel strategy, and content that converts listeners into fans.
Blxnk Canvas is a creative agency I co-founded with San Antonio-based artist Roger Mayer. Together we serve creators, artists, brands and startups based in LA, Austin, and San Antonio, specializing in growth marketing, automation, brand audits, business development, consumer loyalty programs, partnerships and creative brand development.
