Meet Jocelyn Bishop of Boss Up and Builld!

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jocelyn Bishop.

Hi Jocelyn, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
My story began as a young woman of color in the corporate world looking to find her voice. I’ve always had a passion for marketing, design, and social media, and I made sure to sharpen my skills by working for brands like Morgan Stanley, Redbarn Pet Products, and Bay Cities Packaging. Not too long after I’d found my dream job as a Social Media Coordinator, Covid 19 hit, my grandmother passed away and my mother had a stroke. That’s when the switch happened.

I needed to pivot and follow my passion. Helping others. I was able to create BossupandBuild.com as a resource and hub for small and large businesses alike to connect with me for digital marketing services, free resources, and more.

I’ve helped several businesses grow their following on social media and beyond with done-for-you content marketing, influencer marketing which I manage solely, email marketing, and paid promotion.

With clients in industries ranging from home decor, beauty, and architecture to home decor, education, and therapy – I truly enjoy stepping in and embodying the brand and voice of each company to reach and form connections with their target audiences.

Branching out from my corporate positions to truly help hardworking business owners in my community feels great. I take pride in sharing my knowledge and 8+ years of digital marketing experience to help small business owners all over the world.

Raised in an unconventional and ultimately unstable environment as a child, I always had the desire to create stability for myself and my future family. By working with almost 100 Minority-ran Businesses in the past 2 years, I have been able to grow my portfolio of work and form connections with so many wonderful hard-working people of color that inspires me to strive for more every day.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Life is a highway, and the path isn’t always clear, comfortable, or concise. I’ve been through many obstacles in life that have helped me develop the tough skin, grit, and ambition that help me not only grow daily but also be a resource to my clients. I’ve been in high-stress situations where my experience was undermined, and that’s when impostor syndrome and doubt can set in. It happens to the best of us. What matters is how we bounce back and turn the L into a W. One thing about my personal and professional life is: I listen to my heart. In turn, I work with people I enjoy and accept the right opportunities while staying true to myself.

After working for different corporate brands during and after my college years I noticed the gap between accessibility for marketing tools and knowledge around the benefits of strategic social media marketing.

It wasn’t an easy transition at first, but eventually, I took a massive step back climbing the corporate ladder to help product and service-based Black Owned Businesses succeed on social media with done-for-you social media services.

Covid-19 made things hard for many business owners. I used the pandemic to pivot my marketing strategy to help black businesses specifically because I saw our community is directly affected by the crisis. Ongoing civil rights issues during this time also pushed me further into my purpose to niche down to help black families.

Nothing beats the connection and gratitude I feel being able to help women just like me, and it makes doing the work every day that much better.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I take pride in being a dedicated Social Media and Digital Marketer at your service, 24/7. I work with you to increase brand awareness, create cohesion across social media channels, and ultimately make more sales and form connections with your audiences.

There’s something that sets me apart from other social media managers and digital marketers. And that’s a true passion.

My services allow owners to “refocus on what matter$” in their business, and have time for themselves outside of entrepreneurship for their families, travel, self-care, and relaxation.

I was able to get to where I am at this point in my business by soaking up all the information I was exposed to working in corporate environments as well as just going through the whole process of working in different corporate environments.

Why am I so passionate about marketing? I’ve realized the opportunities and benefits it brings. I’ve seen firsthand how social media can drive sales, develop customer relationships, build brand awareness, and enhance business credibility and overall reputation.

But this success will not be achieved overnight! A complete social media strategy needs to be put in place for your audience.

A video marketing calendar is a blueprint for your video marketing strategy. It contains the publishing schedule, video concept, formats, and more. A video marketing calendar is necessary to make video content a major part of content marketing strategy. Videos are taking over the internet, with the leading players being Instagram reels, TikTok, and Youtube. It is hard to ignore the fact that videos are everywhere.

➡️ I helped a home décor company surpass 16,000 followers in under 3 months. When I started working with them, they had around 7,000 followers. Now they’re at 16k!

➡️I help run giveaways that generate actual engagement on all your social channels and marketing efforts. For example, getting more comments on your YouTube videos through a social media giveaway!

➡️I create daily content and videos for busy brand owners and entrepreneurs that help communicate the message to their target audience or keep them as the face of the brand.
