We were lucky to catch up with Carolina Campuzano recently and have shared our conversation below.
Carolina, appreciate you joining us today. Often outsiders look at a successful business and think it became a success overnight. Even media and especially movies love to gloss over nitty, gritty details that went into that middle phase of your business – after you started but before you got to where you are today. In our experience, overnight success is usually the result of years of hard work laying the foundation for success, but unfortunately, it’s exactly this part of the story that most of the media ignores. Can you talk to us about your scaling up story – what are some of the nitty, gritty details folks should know about?
When I discovered my passion for working with balloons, I knew I wanted to become the best. Creativity has always come naturally to me, but I also understood the importance of learning from others. So, I immersed myself in the world of balloon industry, following experienced artists on Instagram and taking lessons from various instructors.
That journey eventually led me to The Balloon King—a true master of the craft. He not only trained me exceptionally well but also invested in me in ways I never expected. His mentorship has been invaluable, and today, I’m proud to call him one of my best friends.
Grateful for the lessons, the growth, and the friendships this journey has brought me. Excited for what’s ahead!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’ve always had a creative spirit, but my journey into balloon artistry began when I discovered how much I loved working with balloons. What started as a simple interest quickly turned into a passion, and I knew I wanted to master the craft. I began researching and learning from some of the best balloon artists on Instagram, taking lessons from multiple instructors to refine my skills. Eventually, I found The Balloon King, an incredible mentor who invested in my growth and helped shape me into the artist I am today.

Building My Reputation in Business
Reputation is everything in business, and I’ve built mine on trust, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. I am a woman of my word—I believe in delivering what I promise and always going the extra mile to ensure my clients are happy. Whether I’m creating a small, intimate setup or a large, elaborate installation, I pour my heart and soul into every design.
For me, balloon artistry is more than just a business; it’s a way to bring joy to people’s lives. I don’t do this just for the money—I do it because I genuinely love seeing the smiles, the excitement, and the unforgettable moments my work creates. Every event is special, and I treat each project with the same level of care and dedication, no matter the size.
My goal is not just to decorate but to create experiences that leave lasting impressions. That’s why my clients trust me—not only for my creativity and skill but for the passion and integrity I bring to every job. Building a strong reputation means showing up, delivering excellence, and always putting my clients first, and that’s exactly what I strive to do every day.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
The Struggle of Creating Content While Wearing So Many Hats
Social media is such a powerful tool for growing a business, and I know how important it is to stay consistent with posting and creating content. But I’ll be honest—it’s something I struggle with. As a single mom, I’m constantly juggling a million things: taking care of my children, managing my home, handling school, working on events, responding to emails and calls, creating estimates, and still finding time to design and install balloon setups. Adding social media content creation on top of it all can feel overwhelming.
I love sharing my work and connecting with my audience, but sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day. It’s a challenge to balance everything while making sure I’m still delivering high-quality work and giving my clients the best experience. I’m learning to give myself grace and find ways to make content creation easier—whether it’s batching content, scheduling posts in advance, or simply reminding myself that showing up, even imperfectly, is better than not at all.
To all the other business owners out there struggling with the same thing—you’re not alone. We’re all doing our best, and that’s enough.
