Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Marvin Atkins. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Marvin , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?
I always wanted to start a clothing line being a very fashionable person. The name “Super Vision” was not available. I always looked at myself as being a CEO. I wanted a clothing line for business professionals called “CEO” which for me stood for commit evolve overcome. I added that to the SuperVision to allow the name to be used and the company name to be what it is today. CEO Super Vision LLC.
Marvin , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I was born on the westside of Chicago Il, where my humble beginnings started. During my final year of college a good friend of mine began recording music. I played a very intricate role in managing and marketing his music. This was the start of what would become the best management and marketing company. When starting a business, you must be very discipline to not spend and save, not go out as much and focus, not “play” so much and work. Nobody else will understand your vision. If they so happen to understand it, they will not also have the passion for it you do. Which means int he beginning, the business will only go as far as you take it. We solve all management and marketing inquiries from clients. We manage businesses (not micro manage), build websites, provide strategic planning from beginning to end, and monthly checklists to break down to daily tasks. What sets CEO Super Vision LLC apart from other companies is we are day to day and always make time for clients. This is on top of providing exceptional results. What I am most proud of is the clients we helped sign major label deals, open clothing stores in major malls, and the notoriety gained from it. CEO Super Vision LLC started from an idea in 2010. In 2022, we we have now a physical location with multiple rooms and a full staff that we are very proud of.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
My senior year in high school I lived with my mom who at the time was a single parent. I was the youngest of 4 children and the last and only child still in the house. i came home from school one day and my mom was not there. I did not think much of it a that time. Until the next morning when I woke up for school she still was not there. After searching for my mom for over a week I became homeless, dropped out of school, and decided to turn to the streets. The fight in me would not let me quit. With help from my older sister, I got back into school, moved in with family, and finished high school. I even went to college and continued my education. I eventually graduated from Michigan Technological University with a BA in Marketing. I went from homeless, to college degree, to now owning my own business. I am proud of what I overcame, and know that tough times allowed me to be as resilient as I am today.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
I know my clients are from referral. I have very few clients I gain from just seeing my company on social sites etc. People hear from current and past clients about what work we have done. Constantly being in the rooms with the right people, networking, and making sure to be marketable. When staying consistent, proving to have quality work, and always having top clients, your reputation is built. You must have a solid foundation.
