Nea Simone is an author, founder, strategist, and advisor working at the intersection of story, structure, and ownership across film, television, publishing, and emerging media.
For more than two decades, her books have remained in continuous publication and are distributed in over twenty countries—an uncommon measure of narrative endurance across shifting cultural and market cycles. Her novel ReBorn became a New York Times bestseller, and her literary work—spanning fiction, nonfiction, motivational writing, and children’s literature—has reached readers across generations and geographies.
At the core of her work is a belief that story is not decoration—it is infrastructure. Long-form narrative, character psychology, and cultural memory shape how audiences move, how markets respond, and how value is sustained over time.
Simone has operated across the full lifecycle of intellectual property—from development and positioning through financing, market entry, and distribution. Her work spans independent and studio-backed projects, global markets, and blockchain-enabled media ecosystems, where ownership, access, and execution must be architected deliberately.
As the founder and CEO of Bespoke Media Marketing, a firm in operation for more than eleven years, she has advised creators, companies, and investors navigating complex media environments. Her work is grounded in structural clarity—identifying misalignment before momentum is lost and designing pathways that protect both capital and cultural equity.
An early practitioner in Web3 and blockchain strategy for media, Simone engaged funding models, IP protection systems, and ownership architecture before these conversations entered mainstream adoption. As the first Black female founder of a blockchain services agency in the United States, she received global recognition for advancing ownership models that account for cultural equity and long-term agency within emerging ecosystems.
She also founded NFT ATLANTA CON, one of the early Web3 conferences centered on diversity, equity, and inclusion within ownership ecosystems. The convening brought together creators, technologists, and cultural leaders at a pivotal moment in blockchain’s evolution and remains a defining chapter in her work bridging narrative, capital, and technology.
Strategic Architecture
Across her work, Simone has developed a set of strategic frameworks used to evaluate market readiness, deal viability, ownership alignment, and durable value creation. These systems were shaped through negotiation, execution, and capital-facing environments where decisions carry material consequence.
Her frameworks are applied selectively within private advisory engagements, diagnostics, and invitation-only salons. They are not presented as public methodology, but as applied architecture within aligned contexts.
Author & Publications
Simone is the author of NOW PLAYING: From Script to Screen — Web3 Film Funding Playbook, Vol. 1, a strategic guide examining ownership, financing, and market positioning for creators navigating evolving funding and distribution landscapes.
Her body of literary work, including the New York Times bestselling ReBorn, continues to shape her understanding of narrative endurance, audience psychology, and the long arc of cultural relevance.
Speaking & Convenings
In addition to private advisory work, Simone is invited to speak with institutions, organizations, and private groups on blockchain-enabled IP ownership, Web3 funding models, multicultural market strategy, film financing, and narrative-driven value creation.
Selected speaking and convenings include NFT ATLANTA CON (Founder), Women in Blockchain panels, global film markets including Cannes Marché du Film, and summits focused on Web3 funding and media ownership.
Speaking engagements are selective and designed for audiences operating at the intersection of media, capital, and emerging technology.
In every medium she engages, the through-line is the same: ownership matters, alignment matters, and what is built deliberately endures.
