What's your business, and who are your customers?

The flexible and dynamic work environment is an empowering training ground for marketing leaders who provide out-of-the-box marketing solutions to clients. The variety of services offered is wide from design, strategy, branding, websites, social media, design, public relations, media planning/buying, consulting, and more.
Tell us about yourself
As a leader, I'm consistently motivated to match talented people with businesses they care about. I believe people do their best work when they work with clients and businesses they care about. I've consistently inspired our team to live by our values of inspiration, discipline, accountability, and creativity in order to deliver results for our clients. I've guided our company, team, and clients while also balancing the demands of being a single mother to two beautiful children.
This has been an exciting year in four key areas. First, we have doubled revenue. Second, we have added another full-time employee. Third, we have increased services. Fourth, we have added new clients while retaining long-standing clients. As we come out of COVID times, we're exceptionally proud of this team that hustles to get shit done and keep growing. Our company has a "yes" culture to help people and businesses we are passionate about the start, grow, and scale their companies.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My mission is to create a positive work culture and provide clients with top-of-the-line service. I have helped build client businesses, products, and platforms by placing emphasis on my relationship with clients. I individually architect each client relationship as an extension of Sunday Brunch Agency, treating each and every client's business like my own. Focusing on providing elite services for businesses that our team is passionate about, we are able to utilize our marketing skills to help propel businesses forward. Along with this, I also started a podcast called, The Brunch Club, which focuses on promoting female leaders.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest part is defending yourself from people who don't understand that you're doing what you love. The family members or old friends that tell you to slow down or take a vacation or question when you're going to burn out. They don't understand that you're living your dream. Running your company and building a legacy is a fulfilling, happy place. You'll find yourself gravitating to other like-minded individuals in your tribe that share your lifestyle and support your mission.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Stay true to your values as you start, run, and grow your business. For me, it's these three personal values that keep me centered:
- Ambition: The desire, energy, discipline, and an unstoppable drive to get you where you want to go.
- Wisdom: Mentoring by experience, good judgment, and a degree of enlightenment.
- Reward: Hard work and unique contributions deserve recognition. Rewards signal respect, a crucial human currency.
