S8 E15: Building Community Through Branding with Patricia Aguilar Founder of El Poder de La Marca®
In this week’s episode of Corporate Cafecito, we welcome an inspiring guest whose story beautifully blends cultura, comunidad, and emprendimiento Patricia Aguilar, Founder and President of FourStar Branding, joins us to share how her journey led to the creation of El Poder de La Marca®, a branding program empowering small business owners to rise, thrive, and build lasting impact within their communities.
Patricia has spent her career helping others find their voice and elevate their brands with authenticity and purpose. After completing the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program, she recognized a need for branding services at the same level as Fortune 500 companies but accessible to small businesses and nonprofits. Out of that vision, El Poder de La Marca® was born.
Through her collaboration with the Foundation of Little Village, Patricia has helped local entrepreneurs reimagine their businesses with professional branding, storytelling, and design. From taquerías to boutiques, her work goes far beyond logos and color palettes. It is about identity, pride, and community transformation. Each business she supports gains access to high-level branding funded through trusted organizations like the The Chicago Community Trust and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, giving small businesses the opportunity to shine and grow.
In this conversation, we explore how entrepreneurship rooted in cultura y corazón becomes a movement for change. Patricia shares what it means to lead with purpose, build partnerships that matter, and nurture the next generation of business leaders who will carry our communities forward.
Her story is a powerful reminder that every negocio, big or small, deserves to look and feel like success. When we invest in our people, our creativity, and our heritage, we create impact that lasts.
✨ Rooted in Community. Driven by Design. Built for Impact. ✨
