What does Elevator Studio do?
Elevator helps companies grow their social media presence and gain followers through influencer marketing. Our agency spent over $60 million in 2019 on influencer campaigns in industries including protein, CBD, fashion, movies, apps, alcohol, and more.
What’s the biggest professional risk you’ve taken?
Leaving a company I helped start and forgoing half of my shares to move to LA and work at Elevator was a pretty large risk. It was extremely scary, but it felt great to take such a risk and dive right in. I think it’s safe to say my biggest risk was also one of my best.
What’s your definition of success?
Progressing every day and truly feeling good about who I am and what I do. I’ve been very lucky to get to do that with Elevator.
