We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jenna Woods. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jenna below.

Jenna, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

Growing up, I always had a love for fashion & knew I wanted to work in the fashion industry one day. My senior year of high school I got accepted into Kent State’s School Of Fashion, but due to mental health reasons, I had to decline. I spent the next several years trying to figure my life out & really found a love for social media. I got to learn a lot on how to successfully manage my own personal Instagram account through influencing. One day, I decided to take the leap and I started up Woods Co Media. At the time, I worked with a few different types of business’, but I always gravitated towards working with boutiques. After over a year into the business, I officially niched down to only working with boutique owners. I started Woods Co Media wanting to turn my passion into a job & I did that exactly. Woods Co Media’s mission is to help boutique owners of all sizes make their social media channels thrive, while they do the many other things it takes to successfully run their boutique. Although the majority of my business is geared towards managing Instagram accounts for boutique owners, I am very passionate about sharing my story. I want other aspiring business owners to know that it is possible to turn your passion into a career.

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

Hi! My name is Jenna Woods & I am the owner of a social media agency named Woods Co Media. I am 23 years old & I live in a small town in Northeastern Ohio. I specialize in working with boutique owners to manage their Instagram accounts. I started this business in November of 2020 & I am super proud of the success I have accomplished in my 2+ years of being a business owner. I am set apart from a lot of other social media managers/agencies because what makes me unique is 1; I only work with boutiques & 2; I have a build your own package option. Each of my client’s has their own custom package that perfectly fits their brand’s needs. I know that each business is different & so I am glad to offer these build your own custom packages, as a lot of agencies only offer pre-made packages, I absolutely love what I do & I love the connections I am able to make with all of my clients & my agency’s Instagram audience. I love cheering on boutique’s & engaging with their content in my free time to help build those relationships. All of my clients have told me at some point that having me as their social media manager helps lift a weight off of their shoulders so they can do the many other things it takes to successfully run their boutique. Since I love fashion so much & am experienced in the social media world, this is the perfect job for me & I have learned, grown, and experienced so much over the years.

When I was in high school, I started my mental health journey. I have gone through more in a few shorts years than most people have in their whole life. My life has been nothing close to perfect, but I have overcome any obstacle thrown my way & I have been so determined to build my dream life/career. When I started Woods Co Media, my life changed for the better. Being my own boss has done wonders for my mental health & I am blessed with the best clients who understand that I still have bad days here & there.

Getting here hasn’t been easy, but I am proud of myself for taking the steps needed to build my passion fueled career from the ground up & I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Woods Co Media!

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

Building relationships with my ideal clientele has been so fun! I use Woods Co Media’s Instagram as a platform to showcase my work, post updates, as well as engage with as many boutique owners as possible in hopes that they will convert to clients one day! Staying engaged on my socials has been huge for my reputation, on top of getting amazing testimonials from my clients. At the end of the day, it’s all about showing up & being your true authentic self & the rest will follow.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

Education has been so important in growing my business! I have taken several social media management courses by creators like; Latasha James, Lex Paige (Paige Media Co) & Nicole Lauren (The Aestheta Group). I also follow along on these creator’s YouTube channels, as well as podcasts. Education is so fun to me & I love getting to learn a ton of new things while taking these courses, so I am always on the hunt for which course to take next! I am always learning new things everyday since social media is literally changing every single day & I really enjoy implementing all of the new tips into mine & my client’s social strategies.
