Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle Grossbauer.
Hi Michelle, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I started Elevator Social in 2021 with one goal in mind: to help businesses build a bulletproof marketing strategy. There’s so much that goes into marketing your business, and it can certainly be overwhelming. Elevator Social was made to take your business to the next level.
The name comes from the idea of being prepared for the elevator pitch moment. In many of my college classes, my professors stressed the importance of having that 90-second pitch prepared; you never know when you’ll be in that elevator with a potential investor, networking opportunity, or maybe even a future business partner. If you want to grow, you have to be ready.
After graduating college with a degree in communications & entrepreneurship in 2019, I struggled finding my first “real world” job. I moved from PA to NC where the competition was greater than I ever imagined. When I finally landed my first position with a small local business, it felt amazing…at first. After a few months, things were not so good. I felt like I was bringing so many ideas to the table that weren’t going anywhere.
My next role was marketing for a larger software company. This position didn’t feel right either. Where do I belong? Why is the 9-5 world draining me? I tried a few more full-time positions, built my experience, and finally the lightbulb flicked on.
I needed to pursue entrepreneurship. I’ve always wanted to help businesses build an empire, and I now had the experience to back up this passion. From this point forward, Elevator Social officially began.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I just started my business in March 2021, so it is all still fresh and new. I haven’t marketed as much as I’d like to in order to gain new clientele, but I’m excited to see where it takes me once I do so!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I specialize in digital marketing/social media content creation and management. I help clients find their future customers and create a brand based on consumer behavior according to their business. I am so proud of helping other businesses find that missing puzzle piece (which is marketing). Helping a business bring their vision to life is what sets me apart from others. Creativity is my bread and butter. Being strategic and creative is key to building a digital success.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Pricing guide can be found on my website, elevatorsocial.com.
I help businesses that are just starting out to create their brand, offer a la carte options for those with a specific need, and also support larger organizations that really need that marketing team to fully take over their initiatives.
