What was your greatest
inspiration/motivation to start The Slim Creative?
-The motivation to start The Slim Creative came from my
passion to create things. Whether it be logos, photographs, or paintings. I
just really love to create and make things that be people appreciate and love.
Most importantly to be able to make a living from it and work just for myself is
a blessing, but I’d do it even if I didn't make much from it.
What is the overall vision/purpose of
The Slim Creative?
-The vision of The Slim Creative is to be a company where
small brands and businesses can come to one place and get consistent and quality
work for all of their branding needs. I believe that one of the biggest things
holding small brands back are their visuals, so TSC is here to be of service
and bring a professional quality to the visual aspect of their brand and help
in any other way possible. If I can't help you I’ll connect you with someone
that I trust can give you the same quality and attention if not better.
What have been the biggest challenges
of creating, launching and maintaining your brand/business?
-I'd say the biggest challenges would probably be
separating myself from a very saturated market in creative services. The way I
do this is by being consistent, in not only my quality and work, but also in
being professional. From my website to my email address I try to run a business
that looks and carries itself as such. Being reachable and servicing the needs
of my clients is why I do what I do.
What tips do you have for your consumers
that may desire to launch a business of their own?
-My biggest tip would be to do your research. Research
your field, your product, and also your competition. At first it’s ok to wear
many hats but once it’s time to grow it’s always best to get help in areas that
you don't specialize in, it will only make your brand better. If you're not a
creative person find someone that is. And lastly, probably most importantly, is
to not worry about others around you while you're growing. It is YOUR business
and brand so it’s perfectly ok to take steps at your own pace. Success will not
happen overnight.
What are your future plans for The Slim
Creative?
-What I see in the future for The Slim Creative is for it
to be a full functioning brand agency and creative market. Where entrepreneurs,
big and small, can come and get their business up and running all in one
place.
