Who’s the girl behind this business? Let me introduce myself and hopefully we can be friends. My name is Angelyn. I just turned 50 years old, I am a single mom who is about to be an empty nester. I’ve worked for big corporations, small businesses, been an entrepreneur several times over. I’ve achieved incredible things that I’m so proud of and I’ve also failed miserably just as many times. But I’m a survivor and I 100% believe that things always work out for my good.
My career launched with big brands like the Walt Disney Company, Nordstrom, and the Four Seasons Hotels. But when my daughter started kindergarten, I left corporate to find a more flexible career path. I consulted, built a direct sales business, was a travel agent, and worked in online marketing. Whatever I needed to do to pay the bills and also be flexible to take her to dance class.
In 2018, I jumped back into the traditional workforce with a local publishing company and digital agency where I got a crash course in ad sales, marketing, audience development, social media and plenty of writing. Like many, the pandemic was hard on our business and in early 2022, I was laid off as the company downsized to survive.
I originally started Courage & Grit Creative with a partner but ultimately, she decided that entrepreneurship was not for her. So I carried on solo, focusing on the areas that I know I can serve my market well - organic social media, Facebook ads, and all kinds of copywriting projects.
My first year in the business was an exciting ride, working with big client campaigns such as a rebranding package for Rodan & Fields, the launch of GXVE Beauty with Gwen Stefani, the launch of Sanctum Med & Wellness in Dallas, and several local small businesses who needed a pro to take over their social media.
I love working with entrepreneurs who have started their own business mid-life and may not have the expertise to navigate social media. I feel ya! And I’d love to be your partner as you grow your biz too. 🙌🏼
