HS Media – The Digital Ad Academy

Marketing is all I’ve ever known.

I’ve been selling things since I was five year old.

I wrote direct response sales copy before the words could be spelled. “issue” “come.”

My mom is a family and marriage counselor. I first asked my mom what she did when I was five.

It would be difficult for a 5-year-old to comprehend what she does, so she said she was an “anonymous” person. “issue solver”.

She would listen to parents and help them resolve their problems.

A piece of paper that stated the following words appeared about 5 minutes later. “Half Price Ishue Solver! Com Now! And Rocks on Sale!” Hanging on my bedroom’s door.

I was officially in the business.

I charged 10 cents to solve any of my family member’s “ishues” You could also sell rocks for one quarter.

It was funny to my parents, but they were extremely supportive. They paid me for my expertise and played along with it.

I was eventually able to sell lemonade, candy at school and social media marketing. There were about 20 other hustles.

When I see someone younger than me hustle, I do my best to help them.

I’ve paid kids $100 for lemonade and I give free advice to anyone that asks and that I think I can legitimately help, because I wouldn’t be where I am if my family, friends, and mentors hadn’t supported me.

I recognize that I’m extremely blessed to have had this support as a kid and I know that many don’t, so when I have the opportunity to support others, I do everything I can to pay it forward.

My mission is to use my advertising and marketing skills to grow businesses that make a positive difference in people’s lives.
Because of this, I have strict criteria when it comes to who I work with and which businesses. I also dedicate time to helping people start their own businesses. If you have a business that makes a positive difference or think I could help, please get in touch!
