Today we’d like to introduce you to Shawn Dodd
Hi Shawn, 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 backstory with our readers?
I was a business operations consultant for many years. Covid hit and I almost died by getting viral pneumonia and lived in the ICU for nearly 4 weeks. I needed a change and my sons were getting on social media. I decided to learn social media to be a good parent and know what my older children were doing. I started to study the platforms and found that I was good at social media content, strategy, and execution of building quality communities on each platform. Companies began to approach me to promote their brands and then our relationship elevated to me helping them with their social media. I opened a company to support brands and businesses and teach them how to use social media to get the best engagement, allowing them to grow their businesses. I then have elevated my programs to fully integrate into a company and do their social media for them at high levels.
Now, I can help brands, businesses, and individuals grow their social media platforms, teach influencers how to get brand deals, and have given numerous key note speeches around the world on proper social media strategies that work.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
There is still a generation of people who are not taking social media seriously and are resistant to change. This reminds me of those who initially dismissed websites and clung to being noticed in the yellow pages. Times have changed, and anyone not using social media effectively now will eventually pay a premium for the same privilege.
While I have encountered resistance, those who have embraced social media have found it to be one of their best investments.
Additionally, many traditional marketing companies are simply posting attractive pictures and videos without fostering engagement, building community, or generating meaningful interactions. Many companies are paying for the wrong thing. Social media is “social” for a reason, and the focus should be on building connections and community, not just on aesthetic content.
The resistance to change is always the main issue, but change is still necessary to growth.
