Today we’d like to introduce you to Elle Mersereau.
Hi Elle, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I found my passion for digital marketing when I was still in college while interning for The Walt Disney Company. After I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 2018, I used the skills I had acquired during that internship and started working as a freelance, digital marketing strategist and consultant until I was hired by a female-run production company, Banks Films to help build their online presence. In 2020, I founded ELM Creative, Inc., a boutique digital marketing agency that caters to brands and individuals seeking unique, carefully curated digital marketing strategies.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
As you might expect, as a first-time business owner, there was definitely a learning curve. I was uniquely qualified as a marketing strategist with experience in almost every aspect of digital marketing but I lacked experience in the administrative side of starting and running a business. In search of some guidance, I sought the advice of a business consultant and financial expert to help me incorporate my company, develop systems to efficiently track invoices and accounts receivable, hire a qualified accountant, and other administrative tasks to set my business up for success.
Additionally, one of the biggest struggles that any company faces when first starting out is acquiring clients. Fortunately, after years of freelancing, my clients were appreciative and eager to refer their friends, family, and colleagues to my new company. I am grateful that ELM Creative was built by and continues to grow thanks to, word of mouth.
