My Guest

Theresa DePasquale @theresadepasquale

"I began my career as an entrepreneurial fitness expert, owning multiple health clubs in the Tampa Bay Area before moving my business totally online. In 2012 I started my Instagram page and used my marketing skills to quickly dominate the social media space by successfully building multiple large, revenue-generating brand pages on Instagram. My own personal brand page @TheresaDepasquale has over 230k followers and is still growing today due to it’s motivational and educational content. With over 10 years of online branding and social media experience (paired with countless hours of high-level masterminds and business conferences), I’ve worked hard to master the art of online branding and social media strategy and have become the go-to mentor for many elite, high-level clients and mastermind groups. In December 2018 I started my company Captures Social Group to provide one-on-one consulting and management for national companies and industry-leading experts to help them successfully build their brands online and grow their reach and credibility. My passion is to work with heart-centered entrepreneurs and companies to help them skyrocket their brand and attract more clients. My focus is to establish people and companies in the health, wellness, and lifestyle segment as the expert in their fields, while simultaneously growing an organic engaged following that will lean in and help spread their message".
