Hi! My name is Melanie and i’m starting a business.

I thought it would be a good idea to blog about the process of entrepreneurship that I am taking. Currently, I’ve been enrolled in a program from Emerson College called E3. It’s a year long program and at the end of the year (May 1st to be exact) we get to present our business plan to potential business and capital partners.

I’m starting a social media agency aimed at small businesses. My goal is to gain as much experience as I can to be able to efficiently develop web/online strategy and at the same time meet the clients needs.

My entire winter vacation was spent throwing together financial expectations, identifying potential clients, and pulling together web copy. I am SO happy to be working with a team as well!!

Lead designer: Mariel Brandt

Account executive: Alex Leach

Account executive/Internal promotions: McKenzie Lawton

Account executive/client relations: Vicky Chou

For the next couple months, I want to document the ups and downs of entrepreneurship/pre-startup status and the interesting people I get to meet on this journey.

Logo and name:

agency19

I named the agency quite straightforward. 19 stands for the age I was when I started it. I thought, it’s pretty cool to be 19 and have your own company, right?

Mariel designed me a super cute robot!! When brainstorming, we thought “wired’, “connectivity”, “efficient”

I’m excited to start working and actually getting some experience with client relations.

Leave me any questions, comments, words of advice about being an entrepreneur please!
