We had the good fortune of connecting with Jasmine Spann and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jasmine, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The idea of starting my own business was birthed from a deep desire for a new career challenge. After a successful 15 year career in the television network business, I decided to bet on myself, using my corporate experience in a new realm – helping business owners show themselves and their brands in the best light with quality video production.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Jasmine Spann Studios is a full-service video production company, specializing in creating results driven content for businesses. From writing scripts for your business commercial, to directing television network web series, we provide top-tier production from conception to completion. What sets us apart is our vast television background, network of diverse creatives, and impeccable customer service.
God is truly responsible for the success of Jasmine Spann Studios. The way that God has orchestrated the journey of my television production career has been extraordinary and I’m thankful for the journey. From assisting editors in a tape room to managing 6 figure promotional productions, I have learned to be the “calm in the chaos.” Along the way, I have learned lessons in how to be detail-oriented, budget conscious, and client service minded. My personal mantra is “Excellence always in all ways.”
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If you’re headed to Atlanta for the “best time ever”, I’d suggest having an amazing breakfast at Le Petit Marche then taking a drive up to Tallulah Gorge State Park for a midday hike. After a nice shower, I’d head to Nine Mile Station for a nice cocktail and dinner with an amazing view of Atlanta. For dessert, head to Cafe Intermezzo. By that time, I’d be sleepy and headed home – you’re on your own now 🙂
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate this shoutout to my husband. He is my biggest supporter and I am thankful to have him in my corner, pushing me towards excellence. It’s never easy for a spouse to hear “Hey, I want to leave my comfy corporate job to start a business” LOL but he heard me, set a plan in place, and plays an integral part in the day to day operations of Jasmine Spann Studios. He’s always there and I’m blessed to have him!
