Kurtis K.G. Graham

Founder of COSIGN Enterprises

Kurtis K.G. Graham, a Panamanian Dallas-based entrepreneur, is the founder of COSIGN Enterprises, which owns COSIGN Magazine, La Vida COSIGN, and COSIGN Media. Passionate about entrepreneurship and creating stories that matter, Kurtis has also collaborated with the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, Nike, Foot Locker, Frost Bank, and Comerica Bank. As a curator, podcaster, and devoted father, he brings a rich background in media and marketing, having served as a marketing representative for various magazines.

Noticing a significant lack of diversity in both print and media content, and recognizing the absence of a platform that adequately addressed entrepreneurship, culture, and diversity within and beyond the creative realm, Kurtis took initiative. This realization inspired him to create something unique, leading to the establishment of COSIGN. Driven by the vision of connecting creatives through the act of "COSIGNing" or endorsing each other, Kurtis' deep-seated desire to see others thrive aligns seamlessly with his determination to provide a platform for showcasing talents and abilities.

Over the past decade, Kurtis has transformed the COSIGN brand into a formidable force, developing a multimedia creative marketing agency that includes a print publication, digital platform, and podcast production studio. He has also spearheaded multiple event series, securing partnerships with renowned brands such as Foot Locker, Nike, Hennessy, Samsung, FX, and more. His expertise has led him to speak at numerous conferences and summits, including the prestigious Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits Multicultural Marketing Symposium.
