We had the good fortune of connecting with Weyatta Rosemarie Mckeever- Sassy Mc and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Weyatta Rosemarie, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The Most Important factor or factors behind the success of my brand is Consistency, Determination and being extremely prayerful. There were many ups and downs during the course of the foundation of my brand, there are still many obstacles but being consistent amidst those obstacles, have been the driving force behind my success.
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?
After staying six years in the media industry in my country, and mentoring Young people who are passionate about the profession, and being someone who has worked with many companies, organizations and brands to Market/advertise for them, I decided to open my own company providing more of these services, this time around, more legally and trustworthily.
My company is called Xcellence Media Co. and unlike other media institutions in and around my country Liberia, we do not only offer Marketing and Advertising services. We train competent persons as Emcees for hire. We provide qualified individuals to take on your event and give you the quality you desire and deserve. We also train presenters the Practical aspects of the profession, to enable them sell themselves at Media institutions and to be able to create and properly present their contents or shows. Finally, we also provide scripted contents or produce contents for Media Institutions.
One of the main Challenges we are faced with as business owners, especially media practitioners, is getting Customers. Majority of the businesses now have their own social media pages, hence clouding their judgements on hiring external media outlets to market their products or services. As a result, we have limited funds to cater to the staffs or the company. But being relentless as I am, I do not intent to stop or be pulled back or held down. I intend to be consistent and Push forward, for myself and the lives depended upon me to make a living.
I want the world to know that despite these challenges, I am not backing down. Instead I am working daily to expand the business/ Brand internationally to attract more customers and Clients.
