Frantz Coutard, the CEO & Founder of TrendCatch Digital Advertising, has dedicated his career to supporting small businesses through affordable, effective advertising solutions.
In November of 2018, the entrepreneurial spirit of Mr. Frantz Coutard took root in the dynamic landscapes of New York, giving life to Trendcatch Digital Advertising LLC. This venture was more than just a business; it was a beacon of hope for the New York Metro area and Long Island, reflecting Frantz’s journey from Haiti to the United States at the age of 15, his passion for computer hardware, and his educational strides in high school and LaGuardia College. Embracing the American dream, Frantz became not only a naturalized citizen but a devoted husband and a proud father, setting the foundation for his future endeavors.
Trendcatch’s evolution continued with the upcoming launch of Trendcatch Plus in May 2024, a venture aimed at revolutionizing the way businesses approach advertising with high-quality ad films and commercial video productions. Frantz’s influence extended further as he became the president of the Gift of Writing Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to supporting global education and nutrition through strategic partnerships and sponsorships.
In October 2023, Trendcatch introduced the B.E.S.T. program — Billboard Expert Specialist Training — a revolutionary initiative designed to empower local men and women with an entrepreneurial spirit. The program aims to train participants to become billboard brokers in their own communities, helping local businesses market effectively, generating significant income, and making a tangible difference. Dwight Ray, a notable participant who joined the program in January 2024, is a testament to its success, already earning residual income while continuing his education. This initiative underscores the potential for local empowerment to combat poverty and foster community growth.
In January 2024, Frantz Coutard also launched the Rise Entrepreneur Mentorship Program for new entrepreneurs, where he mentors them starting from the age of 17. This program provides education on financial literacy, public speaking, sales, marketing, and advertising, with a strong emphasis on uplifting their community through volunteer service.
