Today we’d like to introduce you to Erika Karl
Hi Erika, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Nearly a decade ago, I founded Boom Creative, a full-service digital marketing agency dedicated to helping businesses tell their unique stories and connect with their customers. My journey began as a chemist, but in 2008, during the height of the blogging boom, I launched my own blog as a creative outlet. This experience sparked my passion for digital content and storytelling.
Five years into blogging, I moved to Chicago, just as social media was becoming an essential tool for brands. I noticed a significant gap in the market: brands needed to engage with their audiences organically but often lacked the expertise to do so effectively. This realization led to the birth of Boom Creative.
Over the years, Boom Creative has grown and evolved. Today, we offer a comprehensive range of services, including social media strategy, podcast production, email marketing, and influencer relations. Our mission is to provide businesses with the digital tools and strategies they need to increase their visibility and emerge as leaders in their markets.
At Boom Creative, we pride ourselves on our personalized approach. We understand that every client is unique, and we tailor our strategies to create targeted marketing messages that deliver value and purpose. Our goal is to help businesses connect and engage with their customers in meaningful ways, driving growth and building lasting relationships.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting Boom Creative was not without its challenges. In the early days, one of the biggest hurdles was convincing traditional businesses of the value of social media and digital marketing. Many were skeptical about the return on investment and hesitant to divert resources from more established marketing channels. Additionally, as a newcomer in a bustling city like Chicago, building a network of clients and partners required persistence, resilience, and a lot of relationship-building.
Another significant challenge was staying ahead in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. The constant changes in social media algorithms, emerging platforms, and shifting consumer behaviors meant that continuous learning and adaptation were essential. Ensuring that Boom Creative remained at the cutting edge required investing in ongoing education and training for both myself and my team.
Reflecting on the journey, it’s clear that the challenges we faced were instrumental in shaping Boom Creative into the dynamic and resilient agency it is today. Each obstacle taught us valuable lessons and reinforced our commitment to innovation and excellence in digital marketing.
