Amazing
things
A people-centric marketing agency that believes in being kind, working hard, and doing good.
You’re probably wondering what this company is all about, or whether a Pay-what-you-can model for marketing services is a sustainable business model.
The truth is, it hasn’t been done before, so we’re embarking on this journey together.
But making a lot of money isn’t what’s driving me. Instead, I’ve been inspired to use my experience and creativity to help those who lack equal access and support in their entrepreneurial dreams.
But first, a little about me.
Who i am
For the past few years I’ve been working at a successful and award-winning marketing agency where I’ve assisted clients with all types of marketing initiatives such as building websites, writing copy, podcast production, etc. During my time there I noticed a common theme, a shocking lack of minority-owned businesses being heard and understood as they sought out marketing efforts. I watched as client after client came in with little to no signs of diversity within their business’ leadership teams, and as a person of color, this saddening reality led me to question why this imbalance exists, and motivated me to research the historical barriers for many of us when trying to enter the entrepreneurial world.
It also led me to writing down my why. I was reminded of a powerful message Conan O’Brien delivered during his final Tonight Show episode. He signed off by saying “Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen.” Those words have stayed with me, and have become the foundation for Amazing Things. I believe that by being kind to all, and working hard to achieve your goals, amazing things are possible.
My why
how I’ll Help
As I researched, I began to brainstorm how I could possibly make a difference for minority business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs, especially after the severely challenging year caused by the pandemic. Working virtually also means that more people from global communities are able to collaborate with me as we build something amazing together. My eventual answer was to create a company that would launch in February, just in time for Black History Month. For the entire month of February, I will be offering a Pay-what-you-can model, aimed at removing the cost barrier for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who may need a little extra help to launch their dream project or expand their current business or organization. My goal is to foster an environment that builds trust through listening, understanding, and collaboration.
While I wish I could offer all of my skills, I’m going to begin by offering two things under the Pay-what-you-can model, a beautiful website and my copywriting services, which will allow you to explain your brand’s why. I believe writing out your brand’s story, along with a polished website, is the perfect way to start what will hopefully be a very successful entry into your entrepreneurial journey.
your why
Simon Sinek famously said people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it. The best companies are the ones that start by focusing on their why first, and selling next. I will write out your brand’s story and explain what your why is to your audience.
a beautiful website
A polished and elevated website is crucial when trying to establish an online presence. Not only should your website look beautiful, it should have all of the appropriate keywords needed to rank high on Google’s search results.
Pay-what-you-can
For the month of February, I won’t be attaching a number to my labor hours, and will leave the payment option up to you. Pay what you’re able to pay according to your particular circumstances.
our pillars
be kind.
work hard.
do good.
amazing things will happen.
Get in touch
I’m welcoming all from the Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ communities to join me as we try to do something great together. Reach out even if you’re not a business-owner or member of the above communities because we all could use each other’s support in our mission. Share this page with whoever you think could use a helping hand, collaborator, and partner.
My dream is to make a difference in someone’s life, and I’m convinced this world can be a better place by others sharing their unique perspectives and stories.
Thank you and I’m excited to meet all of you!
Now, it’s time to get to work.
