Deep dives
Starting a Personal Branding Agency
A duo in Nashville identified a gap in the market for personal branding services tailored to entrepreneurs and influencers. Both friends brought complementary skills—one having a background in graphic design and social media strategy, while the other specialized in content creation and SEO. They initiated their business by leveraging their expertise to create a suite of services including brand identity, social media management, and content strategy. Their first client was a fitness trainer, for whom they charged $1,000 combined for branding and content creation, marking the successful beginning of their venture.
Growth Through Storytelling and Challenges
The agency quickly gained traction by prioritizing storytelling in their branding approach, enabling clients to connect authentically with their audiences. This strategy was evident when they helped a local chef and a wellness coach enhance their online presence through engaging content. However, they faced challenges in workload management and the need to adapt to evolving social media trends. To address these issues, they implemented structured workflows and committed to continuous learning, ultimately expanding their team and service offerings as their business flourished.
