Before working 1 on 1 with Jakiya, I did a lot of guesswork, not really knowing what did or didn't work and leaving things to chance. I'd consumed a lot of information online but was often left feeling lost and unfocused so I truly didn't know if that was just part of the Instagram game or whether I was the problem.

Getting her undivided personal guidance has really helped me cut through the noise and get pointed, specific guidance that reflects my mindset coaching brand, the values I want to reflect and the strategic marketing objectives I need to hit to grow my business. Jakiya is present, attentive and a no BS mentor that only shares advice that is relevant and useful as opposed to generic guidance everyone tells you online. She's able to translate what can be a confusing social media space into logical marketing and business principles that you can then act on.

Thanks to her one on one guidance I've truly been able to understand how and why Instagram is an incredibly powerful tool when used well. I've had specific, concise and actionable advice which has allowed me to create a feed with not only nice aesthetics, but more importantly with purpose, a professional voice and an aligned business, marketing and social media plan. I've had compliments pouring in in my DMs and in my feed with people actually reading and engaging with my content, allowing me to deepen relationships thereafter. I've also learnt how to adapt my strategy in business as usual mode Vs promotional mode. Having the chance to speak to her, get feedback and advice really helped me pick up on things you can easily miss when doing the course alone - for example she gave me valuable insights on being searchable and ensuring that my personal brand and name is remembered by those who come across my page aka building an engaged following.

There are many wins I've had since working with her including: clarity, focus, less stress, engagement in my feed and DMs, mailing list sign ups and a stronger more holistic marketing plan for my business.

Jakiya is a true gem and investing in her is truly investing in yourself and getting to where you want to be quicker so I'd highly recommend working with someone like her who actually knows what she's talking about and understands the gram AND business as a whole.
