| 34: A Social Media Manager, In This Economy? | 17 Apr 2024 | 00:24:55 | |
Hey crew! This week's episode, I get vulnerable and talk about how my business went from having 17 consistent clients to 4 in just a few months. With rising costs and slower sales, my clients were struggling and with that, marketing budgets were cut. Is the economy doing as well as everyone says it is? Social media is an essential part to growing any business, so my prices have always been quite cheap to accommodate my clients. But with the current economy, even my cheaper prices couldn't make them stay on my client roster. This drastic change was scary to say the least.

| 31: Invest in High Quality Photos and Videos for your Brand | 11 Sep 2023 | 00:41:17 | |
In this episode Dakota Jeane sits down with Kyle Ledeboer of KPL Studios. We answer questions like: Do I need to have high quality photos or videos if I want to stand out on social media? How do you handle clients who have a really small budget but want really high quality photographs? KPL studios was started by photographer / Videographer Kyle Ledeboer in order to cut through all the noise of getting content. He realized that creating a streamlined company with a “hospitality” approach would help to set him and his team apart from the completion. He believes that doing great work is only a small part of the overall client experience and that the work must also be delivered quickly to be relevant. “Clients always remember how you made them feel on set.” - Kyle Ledeboer Kyle got his start in photography in his 20’s while living out of a suitcase and traveling all over Europe. He got addicted to getting to know each city intimately and have spent thousands of hours both researching and exploring each of them. Internationally, he has lived in London, Barcelona, Athens, Hamberg, Milan and even did a stint on the Canary Island of Tenerife. Domestically, he’s lived in Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, Portland, Seattle and Phoenix. When he’s not working on a project for one of his clients he can be found off grid in the mountains somewhere fly fishing or chasing monsoon storms with his camera.
