As technology and media proliferate, this innovation has widened the gap in society, as more people become disconnected from themselves and others than perhaps at any other time in the history of humankind despite having all sorts of mobile and communication devices. What went wrong? That’s a question Claudia Duran, founder and Chief Strategist of The Communication Studio, helps people find answers to. Her goal is to help people reconnect by taking them through a process of self-discovery that fosters emotional wellness and connection. Claudia believes that social and human connection is critical for living a meaningful and happy life.
Claudia’s The Communication Studio is a lifestyle agency specializing in matchmaking, coaching, and philanthropy based in Miami. After spending 20 years marketing global brands and launching start-ups, Claudia knew she needed to focus more on individual-based marketing. She established her company to help individuals best market themselves as “individuals,” not as a brand but in a more authentic way. Her mission and passion are assisting clients in highlighting who they really are and what makes them unique through matchmaking and coaching. Claudia works hand-in-hand to understand her clients’ individuality, background, culture, core values, lifestyle, and vision for love and the future.
Back then, she worked closely with top executives and brands to brush up on their public perception, and unsurprisingly she leveraged these skills in her career. Claudia applies her expertise to help clients create a “bomb” profile, select or shoot awesome photos, and recommend styling. She also leverages her skill sets and reach to give her clients access to a stellar group of professionals she collaborates with, depending on the individual’s needs.
“My brand communicates this: in a luxury space, every client is their personal brand,” shares Claudia. Over the years, working globally with people from diverse cultures helped her broaden her vision and shaped her understanding of how to work with various people successfully. She strives to bring these qualities and responsiveness to each client she works with. “Regardless of who I work with; be it a young lady who has a history of toxic relationships, a man who has no confidence with the opposite sex for deep rooted reasons, or another who is ready to make huge bucket list changes like a move to the west coast for a total career overhaul,” Claudia adds. “I also practice what I teach.” Claudia’s passion for changing lives has not gone unnoticed. She has won numerous awards and has been featured on multiple media platforms. Her accomplishments include being featured on Business Insider, NBC Telemundo, and Elite Daily numerous times. Claudia has also been featured on Voyage Magazine’s Most Inspiring Entrepreneurs in Miami, CIO’s Best Inspiring Women Leaders 2022, and most recently shot a pilot for HBO Max with the Emmy-winning producers of Queer Eye and Vanderbilt Rules, as well as just wrapped production on a series which will air in 2023 on a major streaming network, to be announced.
Over the years, Claudia has also inked prestigious partnerships with Vogue, Walt Disney, The Annie Leibovitz Studio, live event and design agencies, and a tech launch promoting the appearance of Sir Richard Branson in Brazil. In the future, Claudia plans to expand her organization globally & help people connect around the world. To learn more about Claudia Duran & her current endeavors, click here.
