Sarah Burk

Pinterest Strategist + Manager

Holy moly, I cannot recommend this genius woman enough. Fun fact: I started my business as a social media manager, and I used to manage Pinterest accounts for my clients. But I never prioritizes Pinterest for myself, and the platform has changed a lot since then! Enter: Sarah Burk, my literal saving grace, angel, whatever else you think I should call her probably applies.

Anyways, my point is that even though I was familiar with the platform, I recognized that I couldn’t do it on top of serving my clients to the best of my ability, so I hired Sarah. She has done so much for my account over the past ~2 years of working together, it is unreal! I book so many Pinterest clients, and my work is constantly on my clients’ vision boards without them even realizing it! Worth every penny!

Not to mention, Sarah is just a fabulous biz friend to have in your corner. We bounce ideas off each other all the time, we’ve constantly got at least 3 different conversations going, and she is also neurodivergent so we relate on a lotttttt of topics in that realm, which is super nice considering how lonely than can feel sometimes.

Emily Ross

Brand Photographer + Build Your Brand Co-Founder

Being in front of Emily’s camera is one of the best feelings! She makes you feel confident and like you could take on the world! Every time I get photos back from her, I can’t help but smile ear-to-ear, but her talent and heart extends far beyond brand photography.

You know those people that come into your life and you think “how did I ever exist before you?” Emily is one of those people for me. To think that someone I didn’t know at all hired me for a VIP Day in January 2023 has become one of my absolute closest friends, confidants, and business partners is truly insane. We do both daily mundane life and exciting parts of business together. We voice memo each other daily with “crazy” ideas we’ve come up with for BYB or our respective businesses. We push each other to have more courage, to dream bigger, to break the mold and think up new things that didn’t exist before, and that has resulted in the creation of Build Your Brand. I truly don’t know how I ran my business before Emily came into my life, but I’m thankful that she’s in it now, and I won’t hesitate to let everyone know that they need her and her beautiful work!

Caroline Bryant

Launch Expert + Integrator

I first met Caroline a few years back when she hired me to do the branding for what was at the time her VA/OBM business. We got along splendidly and quickly because business besties! She specializes in helping educators with their tech and launch plans and is absolutely brilliant! So when I was putting together and launching my course, I knew I needed to hire her so that my launch would go smoothly! I booked a VIP week with her and she wrote + scheduled my email sequences, came up with my social content, came up with freebies for me to link to in order to grow my email list, and SOOO MUCH MORE magic that I can’t wrap my head around, honestly.

Caroline and I have worked together back and forth in so many ways over the years, and she has definitely become a real life friend as well. So much so, that she’s collaborating with Build Your Brand for our workshop, From Creator to Educator, in March 2024!

Sarah Young (and team)

Accountant + Financial Guru

Like I mentioned about writing, the same applies here: finances + taxes are not my jam. My mom is an accountant, so I tried my hardest to figure out small business accounting on my own the first few years in business (which had me pulling hair out). Then I found Young + Co. and my outlook changed forever!!

Talk about a team of women who really know their stuff and will support you through understanding this foreign subject any way they can. Everyone there goes above and beyond to help understand, file, and just plain do shit correctly, and I could not be more grateful. I don’t think I can ever not have them on the JAI roster!
