Today on the Friends in Beauty Podcast we welcome Matia Johson. Matia Johnson is a native Washingtonian, strategic communications specialist, visual design guru, screenwriter, and newlywed! She has an undergraduate degree in English and Communications, and a masters in Producing Film and Video.
Since entrepreneurship has always been a core desire for Matia since her early 20s, she decided to act on this desire. With over 10 years of experience in publications, program development, and communications in both the government and nonprofit field, she has developed a niche for branding and has established Innovative Minds Media, DC’s premier branding agency for small business start ups. “IMM” specializes in digital branding, marketing, and small business tools for Creatives, those who are looking to open their own business, or take their business to the next level.
As a rising entrepreneur herself, Matia continues to trust in GOD, determination, skills, and passion to see her dreams, and other people’s, take the shape of reality.
In this episode, Matia shares her entrepreneurship journey and how it led to her creating Innovative Minds Media. She also shares her love for networking and gives us her top 3 branding tips which are the core things that most businesses overlook when they’re starting out and even when they’re operating.
