Digital Advertising Executive, Aspiring Author
Wesley has consulted for ComScore 200 publishers, Fortune 500 brands, and the foremost ad technology platforms. With this rich tapestry of experience as a seasoned marketer and former journalist, he launched Freshfruit, a game-changer set to redefine queer media and marketing.
Beyond his accomplishments, Wesley's drive stems from a combination of personal integrity and a fervent desire to make a tangible difference. In the labyrinth of media and marketing, where marginalized voices often get lost or overshadowed, he perceives Freshfruit as the harmonizing force, giving voice to the disenfranchised and creating a platform for authentic representation. For Wesley, Freshfruit is not merely a venture—it's a vision, a commitment, and above all, a testament to the future he envisages for the prosperity of the LGBTQ+ community.
Wesley is a proud gay man who hails from the island of Jamaica and is an alumnus of Columbia University (M.S.) and Middlebury College (B.A.).
Over the years, Wesley’s expertise has affected the bottom line of a plethora of media brands, technology companies,
and agencies —a short list of which is featured here.
