Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in marketing but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ali Clifford, Founder of incredibusy, located in London, United Kingdom.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I run 'incredibusy,' an independent ethical marketing company - my customers are like-minded brands and individuals who need online marketing support, content creation (video and photography), or social media training. And I've just launched my first product - the incredibusy mini repair loom.
Tell us about yourself
I've been fortunate to have had some amazing influences in my working life. Having worked in the corporate world, running a design studio for a large UK department store chain, I met the founder of a leading ethical childrenswear brand, going on to run their small marketing department for three years before branching out on my own to support other ethical and sustainable brands. I really enjoy working with people with the same goals, with sustainability at their core.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being recognised as a thought leader and being invited to do a TEDx talk on sustainability.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Paperwork, the 'dull' stuff beyond the fun stuff!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Remembering your worth - it's not just how long something takes; your value is in the experience and knowledge you hold.
- Enjoy networking. You never know where the next lead will come from.
- Be kind.
