Meet Danielle Erves of Erves Consulting

Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Erves.

Danielle, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
In college, I was set on becoming a sports agent. Once it began to look like that wasn’t an option, an advisor of mine suggested I explore Public Relations and it turned out I would love the industry. At my first internship after graduating, I given a task to manage this little platform called Twitter. Our client didn’t think much of it at the time but thought it was best to cover our bases. I had found the intersection of Public Relations and Social Media Marketing and I knew I wanted to continue. I left that company and moved to LA, where I harnessed my skills and decided to start my company, Erves Consulting, in 2016.

Has it been a smooth road?
When I started my company, I had no potential clients in sight and no real idea on how to get them, especially without alerting my boss. I heard about a one-time 3-month course I could take and was lucky enough to be offered a discount, so I took my savings and signed up. The entire time I was afraid I had different doubts: I wasted my savings, this wasn’t applicable to my business, and more. I decided to trust myself and give it my full effort.

Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Los Angeles is great. I am an Oakland native and never thought I would live here. I love the opportunities that are available here, personally and professionally. Los Angeles also has hidden gems areas that are so rich in culture, which reminds me a lot of the Bay Area. It’s always an enriching experience. Los Angeles is such a commuter city. You have to drive everywhere (if you want to get there in a reasonable amount of time), leaving the area a little disjointed. I wish there was a central place for everyone here.
