Oh heyyy friends! Mallory Musante and Anna Osgoodby here. Your latest members of the half-a-decade old biz club. Is that a thing? It should be! 😂 Add to the fact that we’ve both been helping biz owners crush it at their social media for over a decade and heyyy it feels pretty legit! 💪So in that spirit today we’re going to share 3 fun facts of things we’ve done over the course of our social media careers.
1️⃣We had a post for one of our clients go viral that landed us 6.5 million impressions, 1.7 mil video views, and 20k+ new Facebook fans… all in 24 hours 😱
2️⃣We managed the social media accounts for the De Niros’ consumer brands for several years, yes those De Niros. We even got to go to some swanky parties with some of their A-list friends which we won’t lie… was pretty cool.
3️⃣Over the course of our careers, we’ve managed 133 (and counting) different brands! Many of which for several years at a time too!
You could say we’ve been around the block a few times! Ya know, in the good kind of way. In that time we’ve learned a lot about what it takes to build a successful social media business and now we’re spilling all of the important dets with you in our Social Media Bootcamp happening next week, July 21-23rd. We have all the details for you here 👉 https://boldandpop.com/social-media-business-bootcamp
How much time have you spent researching something for your social media business? How about all the time you’ve spent searching for new clients? Or what about the time you’ve spent trying to set up systems and processes only to question them and redo them later?
We don’t have to tell you that your time is money because you’re trying to streamline everything. But what if we told you there’s an easier way? A roadmap from people who have already done it.
Yes, we are those people and we are giving you everything we’ve learned over the last 5 years as business owners and 11 years of working in the social media industry.
Here’s a peek at what is going down each day of our Social Media Business Bootcamp:
Day 1️⃣You’ll learn how to make sure your biz is legit, handle contracts, sort out your pricing and how to handle your mulah
Day 2️⃣You’ll learn strategies for signing new business, how to use content marketing to attract future clients, tips for new biz calls, and a step-by-step guide to build a portfolio that helps you close deals
Day 3️⃣You’ll learn everything you need to know about biz organization, systems and workflow! Including on boarding tips, project management recs, and tips for managing multiple clients

Listen, WE know our Social Media Business Bootcamp is fulllll of value that will jumpstart your new social media biz (or kick it into high gear if you have an existing biz) because we’ve done all of this ourselves... but we get that we might be a little biased 😜 So here’s what one of our past bootcamp students, Kati Salowsky of Monoceros Creative had to say:
“Anna & Mallory organized a very informative Social Media Management bootcamp that is a MUST for anyone looking to get into this business or expand upon their current one! From organization to rollout and retention, these girls know what they're talking about! I found the information to be very useful and it is setting me up for success in my business. What's most wonderful is that Anna & Mallory are CHEERLEADERS for other Social Media Managers as opposed to COMPETITORS. It is so nice to be able to support one another, and I am so grateful that I can call these two mentors. THANK YOU LADIES!”
So if you’re looking for some guidance on where to start, what you need, and how to grow your social media business, we’d love to have you join us next week! Grab your seat! https://boldandpop.com/social-media-business-bootcamp

One good thing to come out of 2020? SO many people have decided to take a chance on themselves and start their own businesses. Can we get a hell yes?! We see you out there!
.
Here’s the thing though, once you get over the adrenaline of actually deciding to go for it, you actually have to figure out how to make it happen. Cue going down the rabbit hole for hours trying to learn all of the things. Girl, we get it we’ve been there!
.
Which is why we decided to spill the beans on what WE know about starting a social media business all in one place on our blog today. So hop over there because we’re breaking down the basics on how you can get started.
.
Psst, if you find the blog helpful too then you are going to be pumped about this news too. We’re opening enrollment for our next Social Media Business Bootcamp on Monday, the 13th, so we can dive even deeper into the topics covered on the blog.
Every single website we’re working on right now is a freakin’ colorful dream and we are here 👏 for 👏 it! 👏
Congrats, you just signed a new social media client! BEST feeling right?! But now what?
That’s where your systems and a thoughtful workflow comes in. You see, when you have thought out the process for onboarding ahead of time it will make you and your new client’s lives a whole lot easier!
Our workflow goes like this:
Contract and first invoice ➡️Questionnaire ➡️Social media strategy ➡️Weekly content calendars.
Want to make the beginning of projects a whole lot less overwhelming? We’re giving away the exact questionnaire we use in our business fo’ free! https://boldandpop.com/questionnaire-opt-in
Are you multi passionate or do you have many different components to your business? A lot of our clients are and we know that it can be overwhelming deciding how to organize your website. That’s where we come in.
You get a whole lot more than just design when working with us! When we layout your homepage we design with purpose. Making sure that not only does your website catch the eye of those visiting but it gives them ALL of the key details they need to know.
Here’s a peek at a client website we’re working on right now that the design has been focused on JUST that! Fitting all the pieces of the puzzle together. We’re pretty dang pumped about this design too so we can’t wait to share more when it launches!
Something we really pride ourselves on here at Bold & Pop are the processes and systems that we’ve developed to not just make projects and campaigns run smoothly but also make it easier for clients to trust us with their babies.
So how do we do this? We make sure to get as much info in the beginning as possible. We have a discovery call. We have clients fill out a questionnaire. Then we get all their assets, copy, and anything else we need ahead of time.
This allows us to really dive in and understand their brand so we can rock it right from the start!
If you’re a social media manager looking to create some of your own systems and processes to get your business and projects running as smooth as butter, then you’re going to want to stay tuned to our account. The 3-day virtual Social Media Business Bootcamp is coming back and we teach alllllll of this in there!
For many of us, starting a business is a dream of ours. For Achaia Murphy, the idea for her business quite literally came from a dream she had! A dream that inspired her to create a clothing line for a cause. So she launched Jack Rabbid LLC to support those affected by suicide and remind them they are not alone and there is help. Learn more about her journey and the mission of her company in our latest #GoingBold feature that is live on the blog! https://boldandpop.com/blog/goingbold-achaia-murphy
Have you heard of the 60-30-10 rule when it comes to brand colors?
Essentially this is a design principle that breaks things up into using your primary colors in 60% of the space, secondary colors in 30% and accent colors 10%. You know we’re BIG fans of color over here, so we’re not saying you can only have 3 colors in your branding. Just that they should break down into these categories.
Here’s how we typically break it down for our client designs: We typically use between 3-6 colors. That means 2 colors usually fall into the primary, 2 in the secondary and 1-2 in the accents. (This may look different for some clients but this is the general breakdown!)
Because of this, you may not see every brand color in every piece of marketing but these are some of the key visual distinctions for your brand vs others so you want to make sure you’re using them in a consistent/cohesive manner! #TipTuesday
There’s so much more to your branding design than just your logo! When we work with our clients, we try to really get to the root of:
.
Who their brand is
Who their audience is
How should it make people feel from a first impression
What elements will they need to tie everything together
How will their brand come together on their website
What other marketing materials or collateral will they be using in their biz
.
We’re big dreamers over here and know our clients are too which is why we’re always looking at the BIG picture when we design their branding!

Hey heyyyy! It’s been a little since we’ve shown our faces around here… We’re Anna Osgoodby and Mallory Musante and we’re the biz besties behind Bold & Pop! We help fellow biz owners with bold branding, web design, and social media campaigns. A few fun facts about us:
1. We live on opposite sides of the country! Mallory is in Raleigh, NC and Anna’s in Tacoma, WA. We actually met while working together in NYC though (thank you Craigslist ad for bringing us together!)
2. We’re known each other for 8 years and have been in business together for a little over 5!

We’d love to learn more about you guys! Tell us a little something about you in the comments. #FridayIntroductions

Happy 5th Biz Birthday to us!!! In true biz birthday fashion we almost forgot🙈maybe we should add this to our calendar or something lol! Then again, who knows what day it is this year anyways?! We wish we were spending the day together doing goat yoga, eating lobster rolls and cheersing a few ciders on a rooftop, but a digital party is going to have to do it! 🎉🎉🎉Cheers to half a decade of changes, learning, successes and a whole lot of fun! Celebrating half a decade with an obligatory lobster boomerang from 2015!
I mean, who doesn’t love animal gifs? Getting to look at animals while designing is exactly what we need right now and we’re loving the interactive element these gifs bring to the homepage!
Biz bestie status since ‘15! 👯🥂🎉 #Realtalk though, whether you have a biz partner like us… or you’re flying solo you need to get yourself a biz bestie. Here’s 3 reasons why: 1️⃣We don’t have to tell you that starting and running a biz or blog is tough! And while friends, fam and significant others can be nice to talk to, sometimes you just need someone else who is on this crazy journey too. 2️⃣Some of our best business ideas have come from just our check-in calls, not even when we’re trying to think of new ideas. It’s amazing how just talking aloud with someone else can get your brain moving and grooving. 3️⃣To have someone who has your back and can tell you to take a chill pill when things get a little nutty and to cheer you on when you’re crushing it. Knowing how much support can help as a biz owner is one of the reasons we started our #GoingBold Facebook Group. So if you’re looking for a biz bestie or just some online support to get you through def join at the link in our bio or by searching us on Facebook!
It’s official, we’re BOTH homeowners now! Anna just closed on her townhouse and it’s officially moving weekend. And guys… she has some pretty fun plans for her new Bold & Pop home office! Psssttt there will be lots of color and plants involved! 🏠💗🎉
It felt necessary that we pulled out this throwback gem to celebrate #NationalLobsterDay! Yes, it’s a thing, and yes we wish we were together to eat lobster rolls together. 🦞🦞🦞
How we feel about our co-founders retreat being a month away! We’re so excited to check out Salt Lake City and Park City for a little R&R and to actually get some high-level planning done. If you live or have visited the area, we’d love any and all suggestions.
Time flies when you’re having fun! We can’t believe we started Bold & Pop 4 years ago today! Cheers to 4 years! 🥂👯♀️🎉
