Our job is to make you look good in the digital world.
​
The Dean's List is a Charlotte-based digital branding and career consulting agency focused on building a strong community of empowered individuals. Our founder, Meredith Dean, created the company with a mission to uplift and empower our clients, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or background.
​
We help our

clients feel confident with a strong online presence that empowers them to achieve their dream career. More than ever before, first impressions are online: in job searching, in networking, and even dating. The Dean's List encourages professionals to put their best foot forward digitally, never settling for less than their dream career/client. We are your one stop shop to make your digital brand come to life. A one-page black and white resume just doesn't cut it anymore. We highlight our clients' personality & accomplishments with our innovative services: online portfolios/personal websites, photography/headshots, social media revamping and workshops, career counseling, and digital branding consulting. We have worked with a wide range of professionals including students, models, influencers, actors, journalists, athletes, musicians, producers, and biotech consultants from companies such as ESPN, Twitter, CBS, AT&T, NFL, Miss America Organization, and more. Most importantly, our uplifting culture stands on the core values of collaboration, the celebration of diversity, and human empowerment. Learn more about us from our community of 10,000+ professionals at our events: Meetups, Dinners, TGIM Panels & IG Lives, EmpowerCon & our 20 Under 20 Awards,
