Inspiring Others to Follow You
That is the name of the game, right? You want to inspire people so much they just can’t wait to come back and see more from you. First it was blogging, then it was photography and though photography will always be a necessity and totally relevant in marketing, video has now taken over the marketing world.
# National Taco Day
It’s National Taco Day so of course we had to put together a short film of us cruising around the Burgh and eating at our favorite taco spots!
Such a special thank you to everyone involved. You either fed us our favorite tacos or you made us look good. 🥰

Execution is the Most Important Part of Any Marketing Plan | Personal Branding Films & Photography | Pittsburgh
You can seriously have the BEST idea ever, with the BEST map ever, with the BEST intentions and if you do not have a solid plan of execution, you will fail. It simply does not matter how pretty the site is or how gorgeous the photos are or how educational the video is; if you have poor execution of whatever it is your are trying to get noticed for, you are not going to like the results.
I think one of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when they are formulating their strategy is not to have a damn good execution strategy. What does that even mean? It means that all the hard work you put into all the stuff had to do to build your business needs to have a top-notch launching, branding, social media scheduling, sustainability and growth execution plan.
Ask yourself this: what strategy do you have in place to announce to the world that you have just come up with the BEST service or product that is about to change lives? Once you have launched said strategy, what strategy do you have in place to execute consistent growth, visibility, audience and community building? Once you get that going full steam ahead, what strategy do you have in place to execute sustainability?
Oof. Those are really big questions, right??
When we work with our clients, we instill a 3-tiered approach:
Branding their business personally and professionally
Social media scheduling
Boots on the ground community building
That may seem simple, but the truth is we break that wayyyyyyyyyyy down with each of our clients. Some need super intense, start from scratch help. Some just need to have a drawing board to bounce things off of and others want a more collaborative experience. Our job is to figure out what each client needs and not only build a plan to make sure those needs are met, but to also ensure the proper execution plan is in place to make it all successful.
No matter how awesome your plans are, make sure that your execution plans are the most solid.
Problem Solvers for Hire | Personal Branding Films & Photography | Pittsburgh
You may have heard of Melanie Mitro and Katy Ursta previously on my blog. I’ve known these dynamic, brilliant women for a few years now and honest-to-goodness…they just never cease to amaze me with their hustle. #whatiwanttobewhenigrowup
From Beach Body queens to social media mavens, these women know what they’re talking about when it comes to building a business. The latest venture is a female entrepreneur-focused community with the mission of bridging the gap between your idea and how to reach your own professional goals. Meet Chic Influencer! I can’t think of anything better than merging the 2 things I love so much: women and community.
We were hired by Chic Influencer for some film projects to help them get their message out there and it’s been a wild ride all the way. They get it, you guys: if you want to build your own roadmap to success, that includes a dedication to film, photography and putting yourself out there openly, honestly and with a consistency that is full force. In today’s media-driven, I-want-it-now, in-your-face-24/7 entrepreneurial world, you have to be adept at using all resources available to you so that YOU are who everyone is talking about.
That’s where we come in.
It has allowed us to open up our services to an entirely new population that we had never tapped into before. Helping entrepreneurs solve their biggest problems (how to get noticed and take that recognition all the way to the bank) has rejuvenated a whole new part of my brain that was just waiting to get tagged in.
We’re problem solvers. That’s what we do.
I think sitting down, hearing the stories behind the epiphanic brainchildren that each of our clients so desperately want to bring to life, and then coming up with an individualized plan of attack to make those dreams come true is the most fun for me. The most rewarding is being on their team and watching as they turn those late night, in-your-head conversations-for-one come to a level of fruition even they never dreamed of.
I guess 15 years and going strong as successful entrepreneurs has its benefits! Now it’s time to pass all of it onto you.
Anyone have a problem that needs solved?
