Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Starting a business at a young age comes with its unique set of challenges, and I have faced my fair share of skepticism and doubt. As a 21-year-old junior at LSU, many people were initially hesitant to take me seriously as the founder of Marquel Marketing Agency. Despite my passion and knowledge, potential clients often shunned me due to my age, questioning my experience and ability to deliver results.
One day, a small business owner reached out to me, intrigued by my story but still skeptical about entrusting their marketing to someone so young. They were struggling to make an impact online and their revenue had plateaued. They needed a fresh approach to rejuvenate their brand and reach new customers.
I saw this as an opportunity to prove myself and demonstrate the power of social media marketing. I crafted a comprehensive strategy that included enhancing their social media presence, creating engaging content, and leveraging influencer partnerships. With a clear plan in place, I assured them that we could turn things around.
Within a few months, the results were nothing short of remarkable. By consistently posting high-quality content, engaging with their audience, and executing targeted advertising campaigns, we saw their social media following grow exponentially. The increased engagement translated into a surge in website traffic and, more importantly, a significant boost in sales.
By the end of the year, the business’s revenue had skyrocketed to over $1 million, a milestone they had never thought possible. This success story was not just about the numbers; it was about overcoming the initial doubt and proving that age is not a barrier to achieving great things. It showcased the resilience and determination required to build trust and deliver exceptional results.
This experience taught me the importance of perseverance and staying true to my vision. Despite the challenges and skepticism, I was able to use my skills and knowledge to make a real difference for a client. It reinforced my belief that with faith, hard work, and innovative strategies, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve remarkable success.
At Marquel Marketing Agency, we continue to embrace these values, striving to help more businesses unlock their potential and reach new heights. Our journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact that dedicated, thoughtful marketing can have on a business.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
When I started Marquel Marketing Agency, building a strong social media presence was essential. I began by clearly defining our brand voice and message, ensuring it reflected our values of authenticity and innovation. I focused on creating high-quality, engaging content, including marketing tips, behind-the-scenes looks, and success stories that resonated with our audience. Engaging with our community was key, so I made it a priority to interact with followers by responding to comments and participating in relevant conversations, fostering a sense of community. Additionally, I leveraged influencer partnerships to expand our reach and build credibility. For those just starting to build their social media presence, my advice is to stay authentic, post consistently, and actively engage with your audience.
