We are excited to announce that our founder Heather has been accepted into the 10th House – an exclusive membership community for female founders.
Seeded in the Female Founder Collective mission, The 10th House is a membership community that fosters meaningful connections and offers highly vetted resources and skill-building programs to help grow and scale your business. – FFC
We sat down with Heather to find out a little more about how she got started as a founder and what being a part of the FFC community means to her.
“I started Digital Story because I had reached a point in my career where I was just burnt out. I have worked in marketing for over 15 years and feel blessed that I was able to see, and be part of, the launch of digital marketing into our industry. That being said, the industry can drain you if you don’t set boundaries. I wanted to be able to help smaller businesses and women-owned businesses that might not get the support they need otherwise. Not every client has to have a multi-million dollar budget in digital marketing and I feel like sometimes we forget that. The digital space is for everyone.”
Once she decided a change was needed, she set out to find her passions and more importantly consider what things are most important to her in her next move in her career.
“So, after a lot of thought, I decided to take a break from marketing, travel a little, and plan for the future – which is where the idea to launch Digital Story came from. I still love marketing, but now I get to focus on how we can help clients achieve their goals without worrying about “how it’s always been done.”
Now as she begins her journey as part of this exclusive group of women, she is excited to learn and grow even more as a leader both in the digital marketing industry and as a leader in the Digital Story Agency.
“Being a part of the FFC is an amazing opportunity. It’s refreshing to have a community of women I can reach out to, to discuss issues or opportunities we face in the industry and as female business owners. I look forward to the many events and learning opportunities I will have with The 10th House and FFC.”
We also asked our Director of Content, Tiffany, how this opportunity could affect Digital Story as an agency.
“I’m pumped for Heather and this new opportunity. It’s exciting working for a small agency and specifically an agency owned by a woman who has been in this industry for so long. Since we are so small, we are more versatile, and with almost any idea one of us has, everyone jumps in to make it happen and at least help us test it. I think this kind of support makes our agency special and is really something that sets us apart for our clients”
If you’re looking for a digital marketing agency that can think outside the box for your brand, we’d love to hear from you.
