We had the good fortune of connecting with Kailah Lawson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kailah, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Love this question. Ive always been an “artistic person.” When I was younger I was always in the arts, I was a professionally trained dancer, I loved to paint, draw and even sing.
My degree is in Public Relations. Through the beginning of my career I was able to transition into more creative marketing rolls which allowed me to use my creative brain.
I soon strived to have more creative and artistic freedom over my own work, so I began my own marketing agency in addition to my 9-5 as extra income,,.Ive been an artist and creative my whole life. Being able to translate that into my career life has been so fulfilling.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business U & Ko Agency is a creative digital marketing and branding agency. U & Ko provides EFFECTIVE marketing and branding for your business! U+Ko=results.
What sets my business apart from others is that I have a team that is fully equipt in all areas of branding and marketing.
The element with in my business that I am the most proud in was my ability to develop a variety of services for entrepreneurs to grow confidence in their business identity online. When I first stared entrepreneurship in 2017 I sold accessories like sunglasses and earrings. I didnt see many digital agencies servicing small businesses facing the same issues my business at the time was.
Getting to where I am today in business has not been easy. Though I still have miles to go I am enjoying growing as an entrepreneur and a business.
I over come challenges by taking a step back to not even think about them. I unwind, recharge then revisit them. Then I asses if its something thats in my control, or out of my control. I go from there.
Lessons Ive learned along the way is that if your not consistent you might as well be invisible. Honestly.
I want the world to know that my brand has evolved, gone through kinks and is still growing. No one or no brand is perfect but that is what makes it perfect. I pride myself and my business on our quality work and maintaining positive client relationships.
