Today we’d like to introduce you to Robin Pinzone.
Robin, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Starting REP was completely out of necessity. After college I had worked for brands like Jim Beam + Red Bull, really building my career in marketing and learning the importance of personal branding, which honestly, wasn’t even a thing 7 years ago. While I was building my career, I was also building a family. After becoming a mom of 2, my life in the corporate world really wasn’t realistic anymore. I knew that being available for my kids was going to be something that I needed most importantly.
Suddenly my life was completely turned upside down after going through a divorce, moving back to Massachusetts from Colorado, and finding myself a single mom with 2 kiddos that I needed to provide for. I held a few jobs that were your traditional full-time, stable job, but I knew that I needed to create an income that would support my new little family, and also help businesses with the skills that I knew I could provide them. I had always had REP as a side hustle but in January of 2018, I took the leap to just go for it. And I have never looked back!
I now have a team of people and we are helping businesses grow, which is by far, my favorite part!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road. I have lost some clients to bigger agencies. I have been burned by fellow business owners. I have been doubted by people who I thought would be my biggest supporters. But no matter what I have been through, I have learned how to be a better person and business owner.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with REP Branding Co. – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
REP Branding Co is a social branding agency. We help businesses and brands build a community online through effective social branding. We help them create a website, a logo, social strategy, coach them on their content messaging, and even plan events to tie it all together. We have worked with brands to create content such as photos and video and then turn that content into a strategic social plan.
What sets REP apart from other marketing agencies is that we are able to dive deep into a brand through our psychological approach. We are able to help businesses streamline their brand online to build a community of loyal fans to generate and build sales.
I am most proud of REP for being able to really help businesses of all sizes. We have worked with entrepreneurs who simply have an idea that we have collaborated together to build into a business. Businesses that have national recognition have been able to define their core mission and grow their following because of that. In the last few months, we have beat out some of the larger agencies in Portsmouth & Boston to clients we are really passionate about working with!
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
The plans for the future are just to keep building and growing. Currently, we are a team of 2 and work with other great entrepreneurs in our area, and the plan is to keep adding to our team!
In 2019 we will be diving into another big and new adventure! We are laying the foundation right now to officially launch in January and we are excited to share it with everyone soon!!
