We recently connected with Christopher Breedlove and have shared our conversation below.
Christopher , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?
My name is Christopher Breedlove, and my company name is Breedlove Services. The company is named after my last name to carry my parent’s legacy. In the spring, we are adding coaching and wellness services to our umbrella company hence “Breedlove Services.”
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Who are we?
Breedlove Services is a luxurious boutique social media agency based in the metro Detroit area. We have over five years of experience helping clients expand their online presence organically while strengthening their brand awareness. Our agency specializes in Instagram & Tik-Tok marketing.
New York, Los Angeles, and Singapore are common areas where our clientele is based. We know how social media can cause a lot of stress for business owners. At Breedlove Services, we pride ourselves on offering hands-free social media management to relieve stress and give business owners more time.
Our clients have been on shows such as NBC’s ‘The Voice and ABC’s Duets.’ We have experience managing: artists, nonprofits, doctors, restaurants, and more. We are highly skilled in adaptability.
Why Do We Exist?
The social media industry is an evolving industry that is changing daily. WE EXIST to implement all of the backend changes on your social media channels. In addition, our team is dedicated to performing extensive amounts of market research to aid in the development of efficient and effective social media strategies.
Authenticity is a core value at Breedlove Services. Our goal is to lead authentic people to you while removing the stress of social media.
Imagine your social media account remaining active without you doing anything. Imagine building a brand and or business that represents you and what you are selling. Imagine building an authentic audience who cares about you and your business. Now that the thought is in your mind let us be your social media solution.
Breedlove Services focuses on the psychological aspects of social media by studying what types of content and how the audience responds. In addition, we believe in growing accounts honestly. What do we mean by honestly? —Most often, many social media companies utilize social media growth servicer’s where they fill accounts with spam activity to meet a certain quota, without understanding that these types of things negatively impact the health of the social media account.
In addition, most of these services promise engagement, but the moment a client stops paying, the engagement stops. Breedlove Services is here to remove the stigma of organic growth and remind clients that having an honest audience is more powerful than having an audience that doesn’t value you or your business. We believe in the importance of educating our clients, so they understand our work and why. Our motto at Breedlove Services is “slow and steady wins the race.” Growing at a slower rate is a much better strategy compared to the instant gratification of “10,000 fake overnight followers”.
We are known for developing eye-catching, branded accounts to aid organic expansion while providing distinct branding for our clientele. In addition to the profile “looking good” on the outside, we ensure that the backend results will also reflect organic growth with effective reach.
How we differ from other social media agencies?
We only service a limited amount of clientele per year and typically work with seasoned business owners. Our goal as a boutique agency is to cater to every detail of a client’s social media account. Every year in January, we open up to the public for client interviews to assess our new clientele. We aspire to be in alignment with clients who are passionate about their businesses. Breedlove Services is a social media agency that works most effectively with clearly defined companies. If you are a business struggling to organize your thoughts, schedule a brainstorming session with us.
Aside from standard social media management, we also include drone operations, photography, graphic design, branding, and content curation in our packages. Typically this aspect of social media is outsourced and is the most expensive part of social media. We offer that to our clients included in most of the packages.
In addition to our offerings, our luxury experience includes personalized and accessible account managers, weekly coaching, innovative strategies & ideas. Additionally, we like to service a smaller scale of clientele to provide clients with a personable experience in understanding, navigating, and executing on social media.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
It all started when I began a part-time job doing social media marketing for a market research company. My goal was to gain experience to land a prominent corporate position in the social media field. The only challenge was that I didn’t have enough experience. Everywhere I applied, I was denied. Finally, I was tired of getting rejected and decided to create a social media business with one of my colleagues in June 2017. In the beginning stages, we were lowballing ourselves. We ran social media accounts for less than $300 for three months’ worth of work for about five months when starting out and barely profiting.
Our reasoning with the pricing was that our first two clients were verified artists, and we knew that would help add to our portfolio by running these accounts. After starting with two celebrity accounts, we eventually began running various types of client’s social media, from cannabis companies to film studios. —About six months into the start of the business, my colleague and I decided to part ways business-wise, and I decided to keep building the business. I eventually changed our old company name BCB Media Consulting, to our current name Breedlove Services.
Breedlove Services is named after my last name. My name is Christopher Breedlove. Fast forward to now, I am running multiple corporate business social media accounts and building content for small businesses and entrepreneurs. As I reflect, I went from being denied a position to creating my own. Five years ago, compared to today, I went from $300 3-month projects to $15,000 6-month projects.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Personally speaking, I think producing quality work that yielded results is what helped my reputation in the social media space. As a result, we have retained most of our clientele for over two years. In addition, my previous mentor shared her stellar network with me to help me get my business out there via word of mouth.
